Undue Credit

My wife and I attended a concert last night at which Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony was performed. At the end of the concert two ladies of a certain age walked past me and said "So pleased you were properly dressed for the Scottish Symphony!" and "I'm so proud of you for being dressed like that!"

I didn't have the heart to tell them that even if they'd played his Italian Symphony I would still have been kilted. I'll take the credit wherever I can

No longer young but not yet old

you mean not to young, and not old enough that you might prefer to date their children?

That may sound bad, but there was a waitress that, um, enjoyed my kilt, in front of my wife no less, her description of her daughter seemed to imply she was a fir bit young, old enough that it would be creepy even if I were single to date the mom. Its hard to describe, really, then again, the way she acted with my wife next to me, I can only think how she would have acted if my wife wasn't with me.

I had a mother/daughter thing happen to me at a ren faire, I think I was just in the middle of they're ages, so I suppose I was to fill the gap. They both had things to say of me and my kilt...And my wife was with me, luckily oin her pohone and heard nothing of the discussion

It could have been bad!
