A cool old person... and I am not sure what a tart is either, in this context.

Emma, a "tart" generally is a promiscuous woman, according to Webster's second definition for it.

The girl used it in the sense of "I am such a dingbat".

Wrong word for the situation but it'd be too embarrassing to explain it to her.

There's a time for attempting a witty response, and there's a time for staying mum. Seems Michael knows the difference--in his "old" age.
