\u201cGiulia? Romeo and Juliet? What\u2019s that?\u201d<\/strong> So my husband filled me in.<\/p>\nApparently, since Alfa Romeo became part of the Fiat Group, the company hadn\u2019t been able to build the kind of sports cars it wanted. And sure enough, many reviews of the cars it launched afterward were less than glowing.<\/p>\n
But the new Giulia has been getting rave reviews online and on TV. It hadn\u2019t arrived in Japan yet, so a test drive wasn\u2019t possible, but my husband was clearly excited. \u201cAlfa Romeo has finally made a car I actually want to drive!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nA Moment in the Car<\/h3>\n
The next day, our family was out driving when my husband, in the left lane, started pointing out the cars passing us on the right. \u201cThat\u2019s a [car name]. This one\u2019s a [car name]\u2014it\u2019s the same model as Grandpa\u2019s,\u201d he told our eldest daughter. She was fascinated, asking, \u201cWhat\u2019s that one? And that one?\u201d We kept up the conversation for about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Then, all of a sudden, our daughter said:<\/p>\n
Dad, where\u2019s the Giulia?<\/span><\/p>\nMe: \u201cHuh? Giulia? Who\u2019s that?\u201d
\nDaughter: \u201cWhere\u2019s Giulia? The one we had at home.\u201d
\nHusband: \u201cDo you mean the Alfa Romeo Giulia?\u201d
\nMe: \u201cThe red car we were looking at at home?\u201d
\nDaughter: \u201cYes, the Giulia.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t believe it\u2014what a three-year-old!<\/span><\/p>\nShe\u2019d been looking at things and pointing beside me, sure, but I never imagined she\u2019d remember the name too. And it wasn\u2019t a familiar Japanese name like Hanako\u2014it was Giulia, a name she\u2019d never heard before. It really drove home just how closely children listen to their parents\u2019 conversations.<\/p>\n
She must pick up all sorts of things from what we say every day. It made me realize all over again that I should be a little more mindful of what I talk about.<\/p>\n
