“Cars have feelings too,” it said. “You think I like being luminous green and an absolutely laughing stock? Of course not. I hate it. I used to be fade into the background grey, but then Harry lost a bet and obviously HE wasn’t the one who got painted green! Now, I stick out like a wretched neon sign and everyone calls me Kermit the Frog.
However, it wasn’t all bad. Daphne, a pretty pink 2CV, has a thing for bright green. Turns out, for every Kermit, there’s always a Miss Piggy.”
Humph…a talking car. Perhaps, I need a stronger coffee!

Thought you might like to hear Kermit’s views on being green. I’ve never forgotten when I first this at the movies and it was so sad. Such a touching song.
Meanwhile , my mother and her family have had an almost phobia of the colour green and felt it brings you bad luck. Well, I thought I might just Google that and as it turns out, that wasn’t all just superstition as green paint and clothing dyes used to contain arsenic. Here’s a link to a great story about it: Scheeles Green .

Sweet
A charming tale 🙂
Awesome! everyone needs a talking car!! ❤
Well done!
Thanks, Dan. I was pleased with how that one resolved. You can be lucky and things just pop into your head because many times they don’t.
Sure do. It also justifies talking to your car.
Thanks, Neil.
Dear Rowena,
That last line made me laugh out loud. 😀
Shalom,
Rochelle
I love it.
You left me smiling, Rowena. Good one!

As a 2CV enthusiast, I can assure you that they like nothing more than a conversation!
Well, I talk to my car. Why shouldn’t it talk back to me 🙂
Green is beautiful ❤
Well, there’s always a bright side if you think about it. What an interesting fact about the green dye. Talking car…Cute story!
Clever take on the challenge. Well done.
Cute one!
I’m sure their romance will take off.
Fun story. But, as Kermit would say, that’s none of my business. 🙂
Fun story. We will probably have talking cars in the future. And they will be built to auto-correct us when we don’t meet the woke speech standards.
Haha! Excellent idea, much enjoyed. Thanks!
Hi, Rowena! Someone at the senior’s residence beside my old church has the very same car… and, yes, green!
That’s so funny!
