Wild Imagination

While my friend was driving his son
To his school, his son was saying:
“Dad, I would like to talk to you about life”
his words seemed disturbing to my friend.

They reached the school; his son got down,
waving at his buddies
and started walking with them, talking happily.

But the word “Life” was continuously flashing
In my friend’s mind. After reaching his office, he
phoned his son’s teachers and started enquiring
about his son’s behaviour.

They said that they did not see anything abnormal;
he found his wife to be also confirming the teachers’ observation.
But still disturbed, my friend somehow
managed to work in his office till evening.

During dinner, he also did not find anything
Abnormal while conversing with his son.

Still, he was brooding over his son’s “life” word
throughout the night, and it was disturbing
His sleep. The next day, while they were having
Breakfast, my friend asked his son what is that
he’s wanting to know about “Life”.

His son said his friends are getting the “Life” magazine
on Saturdays; why were they not getting it on that day?
Hearing this, my friend cursed himself,
thinking how his wild imagination had
overwhelmed him with relentless worrying.
