I recently accompanied my elderly father to the mall for a shoe shopping trip. We opted to have a quick meal at the food court. I observed his gaze fixed on a young individual seated beside him. The teenager sported a vibrant and eclectic hairstyle, with spikes in a variety of colors including green, red, orange, and blue.

My father couldn’t take his eyes off of him. Each time, the teenager would catch him staring intently. When the teenager had reached his limit, he cheekily inquired, ‘What’s the matter, old man? Have you never experienced anything adventurous in your life?’ Hey, have you ever experienced any thrilling adventures? Anticipating my Dad’s quick wit, I hurriedly finished my meal to avoid any potential choking hazards. True to form, he effortlessly delivered a clever response without missing a beat. Had an unexpected encounter with a peacock after a night of indulgence. I was just curious if you were my son.
