Sharing Cautions

[sorcererdale]

Once when I was lifting our grandson up, his shoes caught the front hem of my kilt and I could feel it lifting as I lifted him. I just lowered him a bit and swung out his feet and lifted again. If anyone was looking, they were looking at my grandson and not the bottom of my kilt. So I always remember that when I lift him while wearing a kilt.

DALE.

I actually just had an experience this past weekend. My girlfriend and I were walking in the small town of Rockford just north of Grand Rapids, just enjoying the shops and nice weather - though it was a little windy. My sporran and pin were keeping things pretty well under control in front, but as I crossed in front a store window, a gust of wind came from around the corner of the building behind me and lifted my pleats up to my head. I don't get embarrassed easily (pun intended), but I quickly brushed them back down behind me and told my girlfriend that my cheeks just got really cold for a moment. I honestly don't care if anyone saw me, but if they did, my pale white cheeks most likely blinded them anyway, so they didn't see much.

I was reading the thread on going regimental. Some people were recounting near misses (Ha, a near miss is actually a hit) and I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread that would share that kind of info.

What have you experienced that may have caused an immodest moment that you can share?

Let's assume you intend to be modest and let's keep it tasty, in good taste.

Tying shoe laces put you in an awkward position, best to kneel down.

"This one time, at band camp....."

Actually, I had a moment about a year ago when a lady-friend, who was also my next-door neighbor, and I were talking in my front yard. Her toddler-aged daughter came over and I picked her up.. At that moment, my friend's mother was standing across from me, too. As I hoisted the child, her foot hooked under the bottom of my kilt and ended up flashing the mother..

"This one time, at band camp....."

Wouldn't that be "This one time, at kilt camp..."

Anyway, only a couple of months after I started wearing kilts, I wore one to the organizational picnic. There must have been some strange swirling wind currents happening, because as I was standing there, something started tapping my back. I realized that the back of the kilt had floated up and was flapping against me. Fortunately, I was wearing briefs that day because I was participating in the games.

This summer I went out to get the paper and didn't realize it had jsut sprinkled for a bit. I slipped on the top step of porch steps and went down all of them on my back, kilt flying up to my chin! Luckily it was around 5:30 am, so the only party offended was the neighbors cat.

I echo the "Beware of city streets" comment of earlier. My wife and I were leaving the Gallery in Baltimore one afternoon and a *strong* gust of wind came through and "peeled me like a banana" (wife's words).

I found it incredibly amusing.

I see it like this. If they haven't seen one before, then they don't know what it is. If they have, then it's nothing new.

LOL, Bob. That goes along with my logic: If you see anything you can't identify, shoot it.

I was visiting Newport Oregon with my family. It is a nice town on the coast. I was wearing my Amerikilt as it was a nice sunny day. We decided to stop at a local fast food joint to have some lunch. I got out of the van, when a gust of wind took me by surprise. My kilt flew up, front and back. If anyone was looking, they know for sure what is worn under a kilt! Boy oh boy.... that was funny.

Never bend from the hips when kilted and regimental. Always squat from the knees. It's far safer.
