I have no idea how to title this post.

Obi-Wan Chrisobi is my 13 year old.
He's scary smart.
He's a whiz-bang French horn player.
He yearns to conquer the world.

And today he wore a tartan skirt to school and called it a kilt.
He found a white shirt, knee socks and borrowed Bun's black marching band shoes.
He looked very cute.

He said Principal C caught up with him by homeroom and informed him that he had to change for causing a distraction.
I did NOT get a phone-call. Then again, Principal C has BEEN on Activist Dyke Mom's bad side. He does not like it, so he took the path of least resistance.

Obi took off the kilt and wore the shorts he'd put on under it
His friends liked the kilt, and educated everyone that it was NOT a skirt.

How about: "Mom Pride" for a title.

At our High School, OTOH, various boys' teams have been known to come to school in e.g. matching pink skirts, before a game. This is apparently called a "psyche".

The Distant Future of Fandom thinks that at her Middle School a kilt-wearing boy might be asked to change because a kilt is "ceremonial wear", not regular school clothes. Boys have certainly worn full kilt rigs to the HS Prom, here -- but that's because they're from kilt-wearing families.

I knew what would happen down here. I knew he'd be out of it before first period. I'm just proud of his friends.
