And instead of a misclassification, I, this morning, was classified entirely correctly, apparently. I got a car semi recently, in the last eight months, and I haven't seen or been around family with it yet. And I don't talk with my family that much and so, you know, the car was a big deal to me and stuff. But like they haven't heard that much about it or anything. And I showed up at my grandpa's house today, and I pulled in the driveway, and there are many cars there. And then I go inside, and stuff is happening, and I'm not really thinking that much of it. No one's asking about it. We're moving on with our day. And then at some point, someone mentions how my grandpa has to go somewhere, but it's hard for him to get into cars. And it's easier if they're low to the ground, it's hard for him to step up. And then someone's like, "Oh, [Diarist's name] got that car that's really low to the ground out there." And I turned around and I’m like, "How do you know I have that car that's really low to the ground out there?" And they -- everyone -- just looked at me and was like, "Obviously that is your car." And that is because most of my uncles have pickup trucks, my parents have an SUV, everyone has American-made cars. Most of my family works for American car companies, right? It is Michigan. And I was sitting there with my little Honda hybrid. It's a Honda Insight, which is Honda's version of a Prius, but it's a little bit smaller than a Prius. So this is my little hybrid hatchback, and it did not occur to me that everyone would know it's my car.  I don't even feel like I talk about politics or things that often with my family. I kind of keep my mouth shut, but everyone knew. And I'm glad everyone knew, I'm glad that like, you know, even if I mostly keep my mouth shut, and I don't interact with these people that much, and I don't see them that much, at least they know enough about me that somehow every single person there knew it was my car. And it was, in fact! I love my car very much. Well, actually I kind of hate cars in general, and…

So a story as old as time, my mother-in-law says some pretty unhinged things, and they're always pretty harmless, but she fully lives in a reality separate from the one that everyone else lives in. So she'll say something with such conviction, and you'll know that it sounds really wrong, but the way she says it and the confidence she has, you start to question everything. So there was a time we were visiting, we were at their house, and they had just semi-adopted a cat that was hanging around their house, and it was a long haired -- it was really slight, like very small, but it looked like a Maine Coon, like really, really long fur, um, kinda that same coloring. And we're talking, and she's talking about this cat, and then she said, "Oh, yes, this cat is part raccoon, like half raccoon." And I was kind of laughing, like, “Yeah, it kind of looks like a raccoon”. Um, you know, maybe because it’s feral, she was saying that. And then it occurred to me, based on what she kept saying, that she like truly believed it was a cat-raccoon hybrid. So I said, "Oh, that's not a thing, like they don't mate." And she's like, "Oh, no, they definitely do." And I was like. "Well, if they do mate," which you know, maybe you hear about seals having sex with penguins or whatever, "like the action might take place, but they can't produce offspring." And I was trying to describe that to her, and she was just "Oh," like, "oh, okay. No, well it is." Um, so just like super dismissive. And like, you know, it's low enough stakes. It's like, I don't care, if you want to believe that that cat is half raccoon, go for it, it definitely isn't. But like, you'll bring it up later. Like something else that she said, you know, along those same lines, and it's just a very kind of condescending like, "Oh, okay." Like, you know, you say the thing that is actually the truth, and she just kind of smiles like you're out of it or out of your mind. So, um, yeah. That's, uh, that's a specific instance I can think of, but like I said, she really pulls a lot of those out of her hat.
