If it were possible...would you want to revert back to childhood?

[terrya]

Relive your childhood?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

1. Never ...

only if it led to where I am now .

[progmom]

2. What an interesting question

Would we be able to bring back the experiences and knowledge we have gained as adults?

[terrya]

3. Yes.

You would take with you the experiences and memories you have had as an adult.

[progmom]

7. Well, then...

I wouldn't chose to revert permanently, but I sure wouldn't mind the opportunity to go back and relive a few different moments. Some good, some where I might be able to exact a little revenge on some bullies.

[fluffernutter]

8. in that case-no. i had a good one the first time

i wouldn't change a thing because i like where i am today as well.

[sundog]

4. no... once was more than enough

thanks though :7

[redqueen]

5. YES!

I'd love to have a childhood.

Oh one question first... can we pick our parents this time?

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. You're a revert.

;)

[terrya]

14. That goes without saying.

:-)

[RandomKoolzip]

9. I think I'd like to relive someone else's childhood.

I still have the clothes for it.

[tridim]

10. Only if time reverted back too

As in I could be a 70's child again. I would never want to be a 00's child. I don't understand how the kids put up with today's world. I guess most of them just ignore it.

[seaglass]

11. I'd say yes but then it might be like the Butterfly Effect and every

wrong that I tried to right would just screw something else up.

Is there anyway you can make it so I can still have my kids, my husband and my family? And also promise Bush never gets into office and 9/11 doesn't happen?

If yes, then I'd take the risk.

Oh and the Red Sox still have to win the World Series.:-)

[MADem]

12. Hell, yeah!

But only if I could retain my knowledge and memories. I'd be a little shit, investing in the stock market, making money hand over fist, become a soothsayer, tip off reporters, hell, change the world!!!! Imagine being able to do your school homework in three minutes or less, perfectly, and then you have the rest of the day to have fun. Oh, the college scholarships!

Of course, actions have consequences--who knows, having that chance could make things worse--ya never know until you live it, I suppose.

But hell, I'd do it again.

[BigMcLargehuge]

13. absolutely!

provided I could take only 10% of my current understanding of human nature back with me.

I'd certainly get more dates than I had as a teen knowing a little of what I know now.

[AngryAmish]

15. Oh hell yeah

[mcscajun]

16. Only if I can have the knowledge I have now, AND go back to the 50's

To be a child in this time frame? Hell, no.

[spinbaby]

17. Replay

Look up a book called Replay by Ken Grimwood. It's about a man who dies and then wakes up again as his teenage self and gets to relive his life knowing what he knew when he died. And then he dies and does it again. And again. An intriquing book well worth seeking out.

[Hardrada]

19. This came up in a science fiction story I read.

As I remember someone went back as a child to the 1950's with his adult memories and didn't have that great a time. I think he also tried to warn about the JFK assassination but no one would listen to a kid. I can't recall the title. Perhaps others recall this one.

[liontamer]

18. egads no!!

I used to have nightmares about such things :scared:

[Skittles]

20. F*** NO

WHAT A NIGHTMARE

[Kire]

21. could I get out of being molested, again?

then, certainly

[iconoclastic cat]

22. Not without a revolver.

And one bullet.

[RadicalMom]

23. Not if I had the same circumstances and events.

[jonnyblitz]

24. hell no.n/t

[shesemsmom]

25. No

but if I could there would be things I'd do differently
