Our eldest daughter is almost four, and she has a remarkably observant nature. Her kindergarten teacher has told us, \u201cEven when she draws,<\/strong> she pays close attention to the details<\/strong> and tries to look carefully at everything and reproduce it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m the opposite: I\u2019m more of a big-picture person who thinks, \u201cForget the details\u2014if you\u2019ve got the general idea, that\u2019s good enough.<\/strong>\u201d I\u2019m reminded every day just how different my daughter and I are.<\/p>\n She calls Porsche \u201cPorshi\u201d (her cute pronunciation of the name). Ever since she was old enough to notice the world around her, I\u2019ve pointed out cars to her whenever we\u2019re out together: \u201cThat\u2019s a Porsche,\u201d or \u201cThis is a Porsche.\u201d Lately, no matter which Porsche model we pass\u2014a Panamera, Cayenne, Cayman, Macan, 911, or Boxster\u2014she\u2019s started calling out excitedly, \u201cLook! A Porshi!<\/strong>\u201d (Porsche)<\/span><\/p>\n I didn\u2019t see a Porsche until I was 30 (I must have passed plenty before then, but they never registered)<\/span>. Even after I started getting interested in cars, I couldn\u2019t identify a Porsche at a glance. (Even now, when a car approaches at night with its headlights on, I sometimes can\u2019t tell whether it\u2019s a Mercedes-Benz or a Porsche.)<\/span><\/p>\n Then yesterday, a first-generation Cayenne came toward us. It looks quite different from today\u2019s Porsches, and it\u2019s an SUV rather than a two-seat sports car. I thought that unless you knew the Cayenne existed,<\/strong> you might not even realize it was a Porsche\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n As we passed, my daughter said:<\/p>\n \u201cLook! A Porshi!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Amazing. Even at three, she\u2019s not to be underestimated. I was impressed that she could recognize a Porsche\u2014and it also struck me just how remarkable Porsche\u2019s designers are to have created a design so distinctive that even a three-year-old can pick it out. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve been thinking about a lot lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Little Story About Our Eldest Daughter Our eldest daughter is almost four, and she has a remarkably observant nature.
