You Know You're a True Rennie if...

[Lady L]

When you go to the local fabric store with your two grandaughters (ages 5 and 8 years) and while looking through the pattern books, the 5 year old comes to the simplicity pattern for a kilt. Someone makes a remark about men wearing skirts and she proclaims proudly and loudly, "Grandpa wears a kilt!"

When your 7 year old asks "can I have Spongebob Faire Pants?" and your seven year old shouts "that's not period, goofy" and everyone in Joann Fabrics looks at you with the crazy look. (I made the spongebob faire pants anyway ;p)

You read "How Sleep the Brave" three times before faire to get your Scottish accent down.

You're watching "Daddy Day Camp" with your kids, and when it gets to the part with the "stage" with the log benches, it reminds you all about the performer's stages at Faire!

If you think of ways to convince your 5 year old to ask grandma and grandpa for garb on his birthday.

If you think of ways to convince your 5 year old to ask grandma and grandpa for garb on his birthday.

My dad s a rennie in the making, he went to his first faire this last TRF season and LOVES it, and he is all for buying garb for birthdays and / or Christmas. Be it for me, the husband or the kid-0.

You get the job at faire that you wanted, and are ECSTATIC, because now you HAVE to be there all 9 weekends, even though it costs you about $400 every time you go for gas, hotel and etc.  Thank Heaven my house is paid for!

     You go thru your 2 & 3 year old niece's costumes and play clothes to see what to wear to fair and the 2 year old wants to wear her witches costume from Halloween. When I tried to tell her that the fabric is Glittery and shear and witches back then didn't have dresses like that ( I'm explaining this to a 2 year old!!!)  she tells me that she'll wear it with wings and be a fairy!!!!!
That my girl!

You are a true Rennie if your parents go to a see a comedian and they leave quickly when a joke they tell includes the phrase,"Does you child collect swords and go to faire?" because they think they're being stalked . . . .

Yeah, it kind happened to me. But instead of leaving, they laughed hysterically because the joke ended with, "Your kid needs a LIFE."

[Lady Rosaline]

You know your a Rennie when your dane friends no longer ask you to go out on a weekend because they know you are either going to a faire or are preparing for one (making garb, saving all your extra money to go, etc ).

Your boss doesn't even blink when you request Friday and Monday off for 9 weeks in a row.  He simply approves it, and tells you to make sure to update your schedule so that when he plans the schedule for the upcoming projects he can make sure you're not overloaded.   

[washmcrack]

When your family doesnt even ask where you were when you missed ANY improtant events i.e. my sisters wedding 2 years ago because they know it's during faire season. And yes I'm still in the dog house for it

[Lady Toadflinger]

Your husband sees a fresh road killed fox and rushes home for a knife, so he can cut off its tail and cure it. (for our daughter to wear to faire with her other tails) Hmmmm...

[Escarlata]

 you turn down comp tickets for one weekend because you already bought yours ... three months ahead of time.
