Something Wicked This Way Comes

If you could become younger or older in the present day, but neither gain nor lose knowledge in the process, would you? Why or why not? Which age(s) would you choose?

I find this question really interesting because I think my answer is completely different now that I'm in my mid-30s, compared to say when I was in my 20s (or in my teens). And I think my answer would again be different when I'm in my 50s or 60s or 80s.

At this exact point, I don't want to be either. But I would have to lean a little to younger. It would be nice to have some of that youthful vigor when running after a toddler! But I really like who and what I am at this moment. It took me my entire life to get to this point. And while it would be nice to make a few different decisions years ago, I don't think it would change who I am.

So did you find this book creepy or not?

It was kind of creepy, but not keep me up all night creepy. Probably when I was younger, and not completely desensitized to this sort of thing, it would have been creepier. I found it thought-provoking, though. I was going to pick it for my October choice, but now I have September :)

I might have accidentally flagged this topic when I was trying to scroll on my iPhone. I didn't mean it!

Sarah's secretly trying to start her own banned book list! LOL

I would become younger, cause then my biological clock wouldn't seem so loud.

((Sarah))
That clock needs a snooze button!

Would anyone over 30 choose older?

Interesting question, Sera. I think if I was going to face an extremely unpleasant time with a known endpoint, I might consider it. Although, I guess it's not technically just a time-machine, so I don't know if that would work. Maybe just move ahead to get senior citizens' discounts, then move back.

Ha ha ha - nice.
