Wherein I demonstrate what a cow I am in the mornings
"Ooh," Mike cooed as we walked into University. "That's a nice Mini," he said, indicating a black and white Mini Cooper.I peeked out through my hood and looked at the car. "You couldn't fit in a mini," I said, partly because it was about 8 am and mostly because, well, he couldn't. "I'm surprised you like them anyway," I said. "I would have thought you'd want a Subaru or something scary."
"No, Minis are good you know, the Cooper has a great engine."
Okay, so he might not have said engine in that vague way that only women do when they are trying to reconstruct a conversion they didn't listen to.
"What car would you have?" he said.
"Ooh ooh I know this," I said. "A Hydra."
Mike frowns for a moment, and then smiles at me. "And would you drive to work in your hydra Gilly?"
"Yes, it would be beautiful and kind to the environment."
"You do know that you mean a hybrid, and you're actually talking about driving to work in a three-headed sea monster, right?"

At 8.00 in the morning, who'd notice if you did?
Or did you mean Hyundai? If they haven't patented the Hyundai Hydra-Sport name for their next eco-scary road burner, you should, and sell it back to them. Great idea!
Good idea!
Lawyers would notice, and probably sue you for nervous shock of seeing a sea monster.
*loud sigh*
I want a sea monster.
