Reverse Gear

Years ago, when I was about 6 or 7, my dad had a dream that I had grown up, and  was shaking him awake demanding the keys to the car ( which we had just bought that year). What made the experience surreal was that at that precise moment, I was in fact actually shaking him awake, asking for the keys! I remember the expression on his face, a sort of confused look which later he explained as being one of those how-the-hell-did-time-go-by-so-quickly looks. Then the live me informed him that I simply wanted the tape that was in the tape deck of the car, and therefore, required the keys!

As of today, I am officially licensed to drive a 4-wheeler LMV anywhere in India. So all I have to say (again) is: Daddy, give me the car keys!
