Time for a Joy Ride

Sonny – Ok I wanna go for a Joy Ride, let’s go out. It’s weekend and time to party

Me – I can take you for a ride in my car little birdie

Sonny – That you do….but I wanna have my own ride, you know. I need to get some movements for my hands swinging, swerving, dashing and domineering….

Me – I think you still have some time to do all that

Sonny – Nah, you know what, My limbs are aching and urging me to get going in a fast and furious manner

Me – You have to be careful buddy, you just cannot drive any which way you want. You will hurt yourself and someone else as well

Sonny – Sure enough, point taken. I know, I will be a cautious driver Dad and not like you

Me – What do you mean not like me. You know I am absolutely safe and am watchful when I am on the road

Sonny – with a smirk – really ask Mommy and others who has been with you when you are on a rage. You just go crazy and bonkers. You really frighten everyone around inside and outside.

Me – Ok, just don’t exaggerate

Sonny – You need to ask the people that are there in the car with you when you zip around as if it was a toy. They literally have their lungs out in their hands. Breath stopped and in a state of dizzy.

Me – Don’t you think that’s a bit too much of dramatization

Vidya – Ok enough you both….you know that you drive like a mad man when someone or something triggers that screw in your brain and there is no controlling you. We are literally scared to death in our seats.

Me – Ok…Ok…I will be a good boy going forward….

Vidya – Spoken like a true drunk man….the moment he gets into the car and someone comes in between or he goes on a rampage

Me – Ok, I am going to do meditate in today’s evening pooja

Both – rolling over each other laughing their lungs out (having tricked and mauled me this time for a change)….they had their revenge

Me – Ok sonny boy, don’t try to mollycoddle me now after all beating and bruising you both have inflicted on me

Sonny – It’s ok Dad, cheer up, you are a nice guy….it’s all in the game after all…so let’s get going and move on

Me – Ok dearest…love you sweetheart….
