My office adjoins that of the planetarium in the Science Building here on campus, and every day we have school groups of all ages passing by my door.

This morning, as I walked down the hall, a group of three young boys--first or second graders--looked at me and one said, "why are you wearing a dress?" Well, I gave the lads a quick explanation, including where Scotland was.

As I turned to go down the stairs, one of their mothers emerged from the women's restroom and the one who had asked the question in the first place ran to her, excitedly, "Momma, I want a kilt!" (That's another one for us! )
