The first stop on my trip back through time found me talking to my younger self as he was leaving for work on October 25, 1996.
“Stay home today,” I told him. “Or better still, take a trip somewhere nice. They can’t fire you if they can’t find you.”
February 9, 1980: “Listen, you are going to try to kiss her on the way home tonight, so you might want to practise a little first.”
June 11, 1974: “When that Grade 8 girl asks you if you’re going to the dance today, it means she wants you to take her.”

ReplyDeleteI bet that Grade 8 girl was cute too, I wondered what happened to her?
ReplyDeleteI'd have a lot to say to a young me. But would he - I - listen?
ReplyDeleteLove the concept. Great for this prompt.
ReplyDeleteThese three forks in life’s road, they reminded me of the movie “Sliding Doors.”
