29. I wouldn't have done it, EXCEPT....

If they were standing around with some, “We’re here now, so please tell these people who we are” attitude, spoken unspoken, then they were begging for exactly what you did. I’m sure they expected to be introduced citing their wealth, status, ancestry or position, but you picked something equally defining, and at least as accurate. Obviously, it was not in the terms they preferred (extreme magats would have been proud to have been introduced that way). But maybe, in the near future, when angrily recounting the incident to others, someone will pointedly ask, “well, was she wrong?”

PS—Just remember, there are parts of the country where, after hearing such an introduction, the crowd would have applauded!
