You do not get to turn these powers off, they are always active.

This question was inspired by those toy dinosaur things.

It's night half the time, and I'll be really visible if I'm glowing whether I want to be or not. So, definitely the second one. Prolonged water contact in a visible place is easier to avoid, if needed.

I plan to re-enact Gulliver pulling along the Lilliputian armada.

But imagine that you get stuck in a water pipe or wedged somewhere in a rain storm. Glowing is annoying but not nearly as bad as potentially drowning because your car crashed into a lake and you can no longer escape through the window.

I feel like those situations are already life-threatening to some degree, so I'll take my chances.

I'd assume growth over the course of just exiting a car wouldn't be too significant.

Take a shower and destroy your house. I'm going for glowing.

If it's toy dino-speed, you'll be significantly taller after a longer shower, but not giant, and nothing will break. If I actually do the thing from the Spongebob opening on contact with water I'd reconsider.

Ah shit, why didn't I think of that?

You would have to cover everything including your face, though, and that can get you funny looks in a different way.

Ski mask and sun glasses ;) since you need it sitting dark night, it didn't matter much, how it looks. Reminds me in the movie "Hollow Man"
