....your 3 year old tells everyone at court that she has to wait for mommy to park the car, and a court member stops you when you take said child to go wait by the gate, asking wether or not your the parent. All because they figured your daughter looked must be a cast kid dropped at court for short term care while parents were getting ready.

~ you're at a resturant and your sister tells you to watch your knife, and you first look at your cleavage to make sure that your bodice dager is in place only to find that you're wearring street clothes and not garb. Then have to explain why you did so. True story, it happened yesterday at IHOP. Afterward I thanked my sister because I had a reason to add to this forum!!!

... You wander around a venue that is also the location of an annual pirate gathering later in the year and expect mundanes and tourists to ask to take your picture.... only you're not in garb...

Yep, this weekend when I saw a camera pointed in my direction, I didn't stop my conversation with my husband, merely stopped and posed and hoisted my unique mug........ - then I realized, of course she was taking a picture of the men in kilts behind me, certainly not the middle aged woman in blue jeans with a plastic cup of beer...

You over hear co workers griping about how medievil times doesn't have silverware.  You correct them telling them the time period and reason that silverware came into use.  Then one of them says, "You spend too much time at ren faires."

My co-workers call me "Pirate Steve" off of the movie Dodgeball, because I sing sailing songs while working and they know I'm a pirate at ren faire......

The non-cast versus cast at the dinner table outnumber at 4:2, but you still manage to make the majority of dinner conversation about Faire!

ok, I took the kiddies to the local Scottish Games, and upon seeing people in kilts, and hearing bagpipes, my daughter stopped dead still, then demanded to know why we weren't in our faire clothes.

You try to watch the new episode of 'Deadliest Catch' while sewing the bases on your husband's doublet.

...now that's right on the money!  I'm trying to decide now whether to build a new house or move from central Arkansas to Scarborough Village permanently. If only Scarborough wasn't in Texas... I'm kidding...I'M KIDDING!

...you don't wash your car during Faire season, because you know you will either a) just get more mud on it on the weekend, or b) cause it to rain anyway 

...you haven't driven your car in mud for 2 weeks, yet there is still mud on it, as well as little piles of dirt left in the driveway where the rain washed it off
