Older and Wiser Can Wait.....
Forget "If I knew then what I know now...". I just wanna be four for the rest of my life.
Why four?
Four is the perfect age. You're still cute. All the grownups tell you so. You spend all day playing with no responsibilities whatsoever. You're big enough to do the things you want to, like put on your shoes or carry your plate to the table, but small enough no one expects you to do it. And when you do, the grownups praise you like you'd just developed a cure for cancer.
You can nap, anytime, anywhere, but if you don't want to, you don't have to. You don't have to get up early, in fact, the grownups are relieved when you don't. Food magically appears with no more effort on your part than a loud "I'm HUNGRY".
You're young enough to be totally oblivious to the world around you, in fact, the grownups envy you for that. But you're old enough to drive them nuts with an endless string of "why?" questions.
If there is reincarnation, I want to come back as a four year-old.
