If you could be any age what age would you be and why?

[Quagmire33]

Just heard this on a radio station and thought i'd give it a blast.
If I could be any age again i'd be 15 again because that was the age I was when it was 1999 and it was like the coolest year of my life with the millenium coming in and I really liked the music then,school was also great fun.
Maybe a bit random.
But what age would you guys pick and why?

10-14 are probably the greatest years of my life.

i would say like 13ish. my friends and i just always did stuff together (like the movie The Sandlot) during the summer it was always backyard baseball like 10am... till whenever we got bored,then who's house for swimming and fighting/dunking in the pool,then another game or 2 of baseball or ride bikes to wherever (no place in particular) then after dinner everyone would gather up again to play manhunt and i lived on a cul-de-sac where 4 blocks all came to one and on the "sac" in front of my house was "the circle" or a halfcourt basketball rim. we would play manhunt and all 4 blocks were playable! that is a lot of ground to cover especially when it was me and my friend "eddie" nobody could find us. winter was fun after snowing we would go to the main road and throw snoballs at passing cars just hoping someone would stop and chase us... again... we knew every backyard & house on those 4 blocks and always had a way to escape! AHHHHH FUN TIMES!!!

id say 15+- 1 year... there was so much going on then. i was a singer/songwriter in a band, i was having an awesome time playing jr. varsity football, i could literally take a bike ride thriugh the neighborhood for just 15 min and stumble across some sort of random fun, like taking all of the thrown out xmas trees on the block and dragging them in the assholes lawn, wed take baby dolls and put them on fishing wire and pull them across the street, wed get a 20' rope and tie it to a sled from the van and tear through the streets in the winter, wed make crazy mixes of food and dare each other to eat it... so many pranks, laughs and good times, plus, there was a ton of girls back then, and it was VERY easy to snag them... which is NOT the case now

shit like that rocks!
we would play ring-n-run on the same houses every night multiple times per week.the more we did it the more daring and closer we hid. instead of running down the street we would hid right in the bushes 10 feet from the door!
throw rocks at the houses one block up which was up on a hill ....trying to break their giant glass sliding door.
i just realized we basically did whatever we could to always try to get chased around! by older ppl cause we knew we could get away!

I'd be pretty happy to stick where I am now (late 30s). Finances are good; home ownership is good; freedom for travel and purchases; love and knowledge of food and drink...

Yeah. Make me stay where I'm at. I'd be good with that.

 

[DJCowboy]

I'm 27 and I would like to relive 17-20. Some good times there

 

[tartanterrier]

I wouldn't mind being 80 and in a care home,where I'd get my balls fondled in the bath by a
young nurse every day

we never intentionally set out to break windows, but one time in the winter, we egged the local assholes house, but didnt realize that the eggs froze... it went straight through the paned glass. i dont think weve ever run faster

17 if I had to choose.

However I am content now. Therefore I shall only fondly reminisce on memories and not try to lament on them by wishing I was living them days again. Also we all tend to romanticize the past in the end. Hindsight is 20/20. Which is why we need to try to look towards the future with the same glee and joy we do on the past we in the end seemingly always try to escape or forget...

Hmm.

 

[STDiva]

I'd stay where I am (28). Young enough to do whatever I want, old enough to know a thing or two about life.

Exactly.

Not a bad reply, sonny.

Ages 18-26. Everything was about living for the weekends... today, not so much as life seems to be nothing more than an existence. :uohs:

Not in Whimsy's corridor you wouldn't! :nono:
He'd prolly spike your Ensure with strychnine knowing him. :1orglaugh

 

[MalenaMorgan]

I like the age I am now- no need to dwell on the past!! xoxo

18. Young enough to be wild and crazy yet have a good dose of responsibility and be respected.
