If You Could Be Any Age for One Week
written by Regina Rodríguez-Martin
July 23, 2011

I’ve heard people asking other people, “If you could be any age for a week, what age would you be?” Think about your answer for a moment.

Okay.

So far, everyone has answered with an age they’ve already been (often childhood). I do not answer with an age I’ve already been. The further I get from my childhood, or from my 20s or from my 30s for that matter, the better.

The age I’d choose to be for a week is 90. I want to see what really old age is like. It might make me appreciate the age I am now or it might not be as bad as most people expect..

Of course, I could be in the grave by 75, but I’d still choose to be 90 years old for a week because it might mean I’d actually be dead. Who wouldn’t want to find out what death is like and then come back? I would totally do that.

Being dead for a week. Think of how rested you’d be!
