...but every so often, someone asks in such a way that it just cracks me up! I drove my mom to her eye doctor appointment this morning, and I was sitting in the waiting room, reading a book called A Brief History of the Druids, when a lady about my age came over to me and asked if something special was going on. I explained to her the meaning of Samhain as a pagan holiday, and how by Celtic tradition, it runs from moonrise to moonrise, so it was still Samhain, and I felt the need to dress in a more traditional manner to mark the day. She said "Oh! That's really interesting!" and she stood there just looking like she wanted to ask something else, so I asked her what she wanted to know. I was wearing a Ghost Hunters t shirt that says "What the fetch?" on it, which she asked me about. And then... She leaned over to me, got really blushed and asked "Are you wearing underwear?" in a very rushed and clandestine way, and then looked away like she was thinking "Wow! Did I just ask that?" It was the totally embarrassed look on her face, the almost little girl shyness, that just cracked me up! And she was so totally interested in the kilt! Most of the time, that kind of question is just annoying... but she so obviously had to work herself up to it! This was one of the few times when being asked that question was more positive than annoying. I cracked up laughing which I think made her embarrassment a little worse. I answered "Maybe" and winked at her, which her put her more at ease. All in all, it was the most positive way for The Question to be asked!
