Paisley was named after a town in Scotland, based on a Persian design, that was supposed to look like mangos. You were being cosmopolitan.

That’s what I thought! I was either way ahead or way behind the Swiss fashions of the day.

Her dad was a cardiologist and they had a gorgeous place and the dinner was wonderful. But all I remember is my fashion and gustatory faux pas.

Do you know the plural of faux pas?

Mangos? Paisley reminds me of paramecium.
