I remember when I was a young boy I did finish all my homework and pray to the clock to reach faster to 9PM. Why? My Dream show on TV, what else.

Anyway I remember one day I was with my mom and dad, attending a social party. Later on I fall asleep and my mom was carrying me back home and I was dreaming of driving KITT while my mom was carrying me. In fact it did make strong impression on my mind that I was shadow driving the car. Yeah I know it’s hilarious but I would give anything to go back to that time.
