There are signs you’ve read too much fantasy. Symptoms may vary and are not limited to:
– Breaking into song about trees, nature, the outfit you’re wearing,
and yourself (Bombadilitis)
– Mistaking chopsticks for magic wands
– Talking to trees
– Overactive imagination
– An acute longing for a place you’ve never been
– Dressing in flowing robes/gowns and wearing silly hats
– Cravings for strange foods (Turkish delight, pumpkin juice, etc.)
– Walking barefoot through the woods
Treatments:
– A balanced diet of different genres
– Your family librarian may prescribe more fantasy
Prognosis:
– While there is no cure…who cares? Fantasy is the best.
