I'd be 40 - what I am now! I feel confident and peaceful. I always do what I love to do. I wouldn't change anything.

I would be seven for one week..a summer week living in the same house on South 5th street I grew up in!!!
I would love to go back to those innocent times!!!
I would PLAY all day long!!!
Captain Crunch and cartoons for breakfast!
I would swim at Wrights park, play with my Barbies under the cherry tree and read my Archie comic books.

Tuna with lots of mayo on Wonder bread, Go-Go's moms chocolate chip cookies, cheetos and grape Shasta for lunch!

Play some more....hopscotch in the alley, ride my bike to the library and go to Johnson's candy store...

Go back outside after dinner until sundown...sit on Go-Go's porch and sing camp songs, play hide em and ditch em with all the neighborhood kids until moms start yelling our names that it is time to come inside.
I loved those days!!!
peace,train

Pinkie Winky I would be age 5 again

This was a time in my life, infact all my childhood that I can remember was a lot of fun. I was raised in Sipesville Pa, and grandparents lived on a large farm. I would enjoy playing as I had done in my younger days, there were so many nice things to remember. Donna

Your Best Age !!!!!

Wow, what a loaded question, You would have to say, it depends on the eye of the beholder...
I am 69, lost a child, lost two husbands, There were so many happy times. I would have to say, right now. I wouldn't have missed one single wonderful time, I have had.Or the few bad times, just enough to realize the difference, between good and bad. The experiences I have had, have made me what I am today. I like what I am today. Who I am today. Every thing I have done, experienced is who I am today. My past, makes me who I am today.
I have had those times where it was safe anywhere you went, done the swimming, done the being a child, and no responcibilities, to worry about... I have brought a child into this world, felt it in my womb. Went to the prom. Etc. I would not or could not pick the best time for me. As each age was an investment in me. and who I am today.... ranchmama

I'd be 12 or under........

It wouldn't matter exactly what age under 12, all of them were happy and carefree. It was just a wonderful time to grow up. Your parents didn't have to really worry much about you and all summer you just played with your friends and had a good, clean time! And the night's were so wonderful. I remember being in bed all nice and clean and the attic fan being on and the curtain flying above you and that nice air would come in from the fan. And some nights you could hear your parents talking in bed and it gave you such a wonderful sense of security. Oh, those wonderful days, how they're missed!

Best Age

For 1 week I wouldn't mind going back to around 35. I'd spend the whole week playing with my son and daughter. I wouldn't want to do it for more than a week because I'd miss my grandkids. But I'd love to spend the time with my kids again.

I would like to be 25 again...that is how old I was when I met my husband. I love the intensity of a new romance, we knew that we were suppose to be together.

What a loaded question....each age has its good and bad....but all are learning experiences..

Since it's only for a week, I'd like to go back to when I was ohhh,,, 35...and meet my present husband at that age.... *grins*

We are now in our early 60's *s*
