Kid for a day

[HardyGirl]

OK, let's say a magic genie has given you one wish: that you could go back in time and be a kid for a day. How old would you be? What would you do? Who would you wanna see?

[Mikey]

Hmmm,
I'd go back to 7th grade (1977)
It was just fun around that time.
Disco music and pretty girls

I would actually like to go back when I was 5 to meet my grandmother once more. She was a very nice lady and sorely missed.

I agree with Mike on 1977...I was 15...that was probably my favorite geek year...be able to see Star Wars all over again on opening day...I would love to relieve that...it was also the release of my favorite album of all times...Queen's News of the World...I vividly remember buying the vinyl album back then...plus the Six Million Dollar Man first run episodes on ABC...and the height of Megos of course...I would also buy all the key comics books that I could afford...1977 was awesome indeed...

[Mikey]

I wouldn't want to do the visit passed loved ones thing.

It would be too hard seeing them and seperating from them AGAIN.

I'd rather let the dead rest in peace

Go back to 1978 and Spend a whole day with My Mom who I dearly miss....and go see Superman the movie with her and my sister and hear her laugh again when Chris is going to save Lois and looks at the short Telephone booth......I can still hear her laughing about that.

I would go back to the day I found my Mego Spidey and play with him outside all day long until my mom called us in for dinner.

[Bizarro Amy]

Would you have to go back in your own time? I wasn't born until 1977, so seeing the original Star Wars wouldn't help me much, as I wouldn't remember it. Unless I could go back to 1977 and be 10. That would be awesome.

June 5th 1977.

9 years old, standing outside the Island theater in Staten Island New York. Just had a baseball helmet ice cream sundae at Zips, and was waiting in line to see Star wars with Vinny Vallelong.

Saw the film. Mind sufficiently blown--

Listened to the Bay City Rollers on 8 track on the way home in the Country Squire station wagon. Went to my little league game at West Shore. We played Scalisi Florist and won 7-0. I pitched a 2 hitter and was the hero of the game. Then we ate dinner at Beefsteak Charlies with my cousins and drank like 6 pitchers of birch beer.

Laying in bed that night, I couldn't sleep. All I could think of was that movie and how it got made... How they did that. Thus, begun the journey that I'm on till this very day...

I'd give anything I own to relive that one day.

To be honest and bear my soul, I'd give anything to relive ANY day from my childhood. I frikkin' hate being a grown up.

My life is good, and I'm living the dream, but I haven't had a day as good since.

I don´t want to go back...I miss it but my neighborhood hasn´t changed at all. I would rather know the future. When will this world end?

I don't know exactly how old or what day, but I'd love to go back to a SATURDAY in the late 70s. I'd watch cartoons until my parents got up. We'd go to brunch at the Hickory House (and sit in the smoking section ) before heading off to Lionel Leisure City where I would stand in front of the Star Wars figure display and drool...then walk over to the KISS Megos and drool a bit more. This time, I'd look to see exactly which Megos they had. Ever since I've been coming to the Megomuseum (about 10 years now), I have been bothered by the fact that I can't remember seeing any 8" megos on the shelves at Lionel except for the one time they had a wall of them for $1 each of the Fantastic 4, Hulk and Spiderman (I always wished I'd bought them even before I got back into collecting). So that's where I'd want to go.

[HardyGirl]

To answer my own question, I probably couldn't pick A day, but it probably be prior to 1977 (when my sister died). I would probably get up and watch cartoons, go out and play w/ my friends, go to a Disney flick w/ my mom, hang out w/ my sister in our room, and lick the bowl w/ my brother after Mom made a cake.

But I do agree w/ Sandy that I really miss being a kid and all that went w/ it, so I really couldn't pick just one day. Any of them would be OK w/ me.

I'd go back to 89 when i was 9, we had gone to a huge toy show in Miami...and we went as a family with my grandma (who I really miss as well) so spending time with my late Grandma and a toyshow at the same time, it's win win

September 1975, fifth birthday, midtown mall. Lunch at the Hearth (miss those fries) and then got to take my time at Pinocchio's toys. Actually watched the owner open the case of Super Softies, which was what I eventually chose.

To the days, when you would go bottle collecting for the return money, then build a fort till you were called for dinner. Get up on Sunday get some wacky packs and go back to the Fort.
