My aunt has a cup. Not just any cup. It’s a very special cup. Not only does it look rather skew-whiffed (as if it had to stand the tide, barely making it), it even comes with rather peculiar abilities. It can tell you the tide. Yes, that’s right. It’ll always tell you quite accurately whether there’s high tide (Flut) or low tide (Ebbe) in the cup! Smart thing! No wonder it’s been quite a favorite of my mom’s, though I must confess that drinking from this skew-whiffed thing can be quite the challenge for my not so seafaring little person!

Not as straight as straight can be!
