A chance encounter

[Taj]

Had to smile to myself today after leaving the day-old bread store. (We refer to it as the used bread store. ) At any rate, an Asian woman, who had not been in America long enough to loose her accent was intrigued with my "skirt", a Utilikilt in camo that the clerk informed her was called a kilt. The helpful clerk also told her that the Scottish wear kilts. The whole thing came off as the only thing out of the ordinary was having never seen a man in a skirt/kilt before. I proceeded on to my get together with friends who are quite used to men in kilts or even skirts for that matter.

I had to laugh, I call my bread outlet store the used bread store too.
The manager of the store I go to is also quite understanding/supportive of my alternative dressing. We've been seeing each other about every other week for the better part of 20 years now. She did have to deal with one customer a couple of years ago who had issues with the way I look.
