Alfa Romeo, Giulia

I noticed that there are now 85 Hatena readers. Thank you very much. The other day, my husband wasAlfa Romeo's new Giuliahad requested information on the company and showed me the catalog they had received. I knew almost nothing about Alfa Romeo andJulia? Romeo and Juliet? What's that?"I didn't know enough to say what a mess I was in, so my husband had to teach me a lot of things.

After Alfa Romeo became part of the Fiat Group, they were not able to make sports cars as they wanted, and indeed, many reviews of cars released by Alfa Romeo since then have been poor.

However, this time the Giulia is very highly rated in online and TV reviews. It hasn't come into Japan yet, and they say you can't test drive it.Alfa Romeo finally made a car I want to drive!"And my husband seemed excited about it.

What happened in the car

The next day, we went out in the car as a family. My husband was driving in the left lane, looking at the cars passing him in the right lane and telling our oldest daughter one by one, "This car is called this one, this one is this one, this one is the same car as grandpa's." My daughter said, "This is the same car as grandpa's. My daughter would also ask, "What about this one? What about that one? They talked like that for about 20 minutes.

And then, my eldest daughter mentioned this.

Dad, where's Julia?

Me: "What? Julia? Who's that?"
Daughter: "Where's Julia? Um, the one we had at home."
Husband: "Maybe he's talking about the Alfa Romeo Giulia?"
Me: "Um, you mean that red car I saw at your house?"
Daughter: "Yes, Julia."

Oh, scary 3 year olds...

Sure, she was looking and pointing at something beside me, but I had no idea that she even remembered my name.... And it was not a Japanese name like Hanako, but an unfamiliar name like Julia... I realized that children listen to their parents' conversations very carefully.

I guess I hear a lot of things on a regular basis... I thought again that I need to be a little more careful in my conversations.
