suppose you went back in time. you wake up one day to find you're a kid again, going to kindergartes, playing is your first priority, be a headache to your mom and dad, annoy your sisters and brothers, watch cartoons all day... BUT! your mind is as old as you are now. you're the most clever in your class, you can outwit everybody else including your family... however, you couldnt really remember your previous childhood and everything that happened until where you are now and you couldnt remember which part of it you would want to change. how would you react? i have imagined this a lot of times and at first i think its cool to outwit everybody since i know things a child wouldnt know. i can do things that an adult arent supposed to do. i can throw tantrums and my parents would bribe me with all the kids stuff. LOL i could watch tv and have no responsibilities at all! ^__^;; but when i think of going old again, like going thru elementary, high school and college... i kinda get tired already since somehow i would know that i've been there and done that and feels like i wouldnt want to do it all over again... ^__^;; so much for a wild imagination... LOL what about you?

I would be one dangerous child if I went back in time knowing what I know now! LOL If I couldn't remember what I was wanting to change, I would probably freak out after a week or two...trying to figure out how to get out of this nightmare.

ROTF Yes, I'd play every trick in the book. I'd be very sly and get my big brothers in trouble for every little stunt I pulled. I'd set up little booby traps and and lure them in. I'm the baby of the family, so the possibilities would be endless...and priceless! I'd get them back for every little thing they did to me the 1st time around. Brahahaha!

you will not be a kid forever right. MAybe as i grow old i will just be careful of doing things and making decisions on my own. That i will think twice before deciding to want i really want my life to be. that i will also not to take for garnted of my parents teachings and will bear in mind what they taught to be.

we couldnt really avoid making mistakes. besides, we learn by our mistakes. we get stronger by our mistakes. if there's no mistake then there'd be no measure for right, right? ^__^;;

right, if i reality would be back in time i just do as want i told you. lots of mistakes that i've done. feelings that i've hurt and parents that i took for granted because of the decisions i made in life. it just that i regret some of my decisions.i have lots of what ifs. At least if i will be kid again and start my life over again and definitely avoid my mistakes and have my own career, make my life better, and baing just a person what i want to be

I've actually had dreams in which this kind of thing happened to me. In ways it was so much fun because I already knew everything. (in most of my dreams I could remember how everything turned out though) It was also bittersweet and just plain sad in other ways though because I knew the outcomes weren't very often as good as the beginnings. I've dreamed about the first time I met a certain little boy when we were six. Part of me was so happy to see him and be able to relive those moments. But it was also hard because I knew that we would grow up, have a hard marriage and end up divorced....in my dream about this I found that I couldn't enjoy those times nearly as much as I did the first time around, just because I already knew... In other dreams, I'd know I had gone back to "fix" something but I couldn't remember what. That was almost scary because it seemed so important to make things right but without knowing what I needed to do I worried I would make things worse. And when it was all over, even if I did do the right things, my life was so different than what it had been that I wished I hadn't fixed anything at all. And from all of these dreams of mine I also remember that "tired" feeling realizing that I would have to go through school all over again!

awww... a puppy love! at some point of my life i wanted to go back too just to change some parts of my lovelife. LOL but i realized if it didnt happened, i wouldnt be like this or that, things wouldnt have happened.. y'know.. everything will change even those that i enjoyed and treasured. that's why its better if we go back in time and never remember a thing. ^__^ *peace* that way there's no hesitations, there's nothing to consider, there's nothing to worry and all that. its like starting anew with a much wiser brains. LOL

honestly I'd probably feel stupid. Having the mentality that I do now and having to act like a 5 year old. The whole having no responsibilities would be nice, but as a kid I always wanted to grow up and be responsible. So I don't know I'd hope I'd enjoy realizing that I shouldn't have wanted to grow up so fast and enjoyed being irresponsible a lot longer. but I'd probably know better and ruin the experience for myself.

LOL its kinda confusing when you say it that way. 0_o but I think it all boils down whether you'll choose to act like a kid or act like a matured responsible person with a kid's body. hmmm... I guess it would really be hard to choose. "real" kids don't have any idea of being responsible, don't have any idea of what is right and what is wrong. its only when the kid grows up and matures that he/she makes choices based on reasoning. geez... I guess its more complicated than I thought! LOL

but i guess if you know how to choose and make good decisions, you'll still able to enjoy being a kid again even having an adult mind. ^__^

yeah. see that's my point. When you are a good you don't know much about the adult life. but once you are an adult and know responsibility it's hard to NOT have it. So if you were a kid, knowing responsibility of adulthood...which would you be, the kid on the outside or the adult on the inside.

I would very much like too. There are certain times in my child with no responsibilities to not look forward too. It would be easy learning more stuff and doing things entirely different in the process. Its not like I don not want any responsibilities. It just means a new start. And if you understand thing better now then before then you could a long way. It will be spoiling yourself at the same time maturing even more. Sometimes it is plain blessing to be alive. To just move my hands is a miracle. It would be definitely exciting to do it all over again in an entirely different way.

i guess it would really be more exciting. ^__^ and i think its a good way to experience again the wonders of being a kid, how those simple little things make a kid happy. and with an adult mind, we'd know how to make our parents happy. ^__^

there will be no thrill anymore going back to the time where you have to study or go to school again. yes i agree that it is a nice feeling to outwit everybody but to work your way again to all the school stuffs.... ouch....lol. i think a lot of myloters will agree to go back as a kid and get tired when the school part comes along hahaha.

wise for a kid. other people would surely get suspicious. but I think they'll just think that you're a super smart kid and maybe put you under a research or a study! maybe even put you in a lab! LOL

Hi secretbear! :) This sounds like a great idea! :) I'm going to be TOP 1 on my classes! LOL... But if I tend to just focus on outwitting my classmates, I will forget the simplest and happy things that make life complete. I love to experience the joy of childhood rather than become too adult and mature and think of what the future lies. Hmmm... I can say that we continue on having a child-like attitude, and not the childish ones. :) God bless! =)
