Would kid you think you're cool? Are you everything kid you wanted to be when you grew up? Or are you a square? Would kid you think you're boring?

I think about this sometimes when I see the managers at Walmart.

 

[Richard Packer]

He would be impressed by his future girth.

 

[Vaquilla]

Kid me thought I'd never finish high school, move out of home, or find a girlfriend, etc so he'd be pretty pleased.

He'd probably question why I didn't become a steam train driver or a firefighter though.

 

[rubik's dude]

He would be impressed by his future girth.

Is it a sex crime if your future self is exposing yourself to your past self?

 

[Topher]

 

[Durien]

Kid me was extremely self destructive and would be surprised I lived past 25..

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Me little me would be surprised and say Wow!!! Why I became a Hero in my country, I have a profession that is extremely difficult...

And now before as a child it was difficult for me to save money, a miracle was saving 70 dollars in my entire life...

Now I have become a Millionaire in my country.

 

[Richard Packer]

I was talking about his physique. Weirdo.

 

[Rockondevil]

Kid me wouldn’t give a shit.

But you still can't get a girlfriend. Little you learns money doesn't solve everything.

 

[BlackTron]

Kind of a mind blowing question. I did everything kid me would have expected, realized it was a bad idea and presently live like a kid again, only with a a car and without parents.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That I didn't grow into a serious adult? Maybe I would make fun of my future self, maybe I would become that cool uncle.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Dunno what kid me would think about me but I sure as hell would hate kid me - therefore I couldn't care less what kid me would think of me.

 

[Dioica]

Kid me would never have imagined in a million years I'd end up doing the job I do in the part of the world I am (somehow I ended up in the Middle East). Kid me would also be astounded that I can cook, my flat is not a pigsty, and I have managed to rediscover my love of reading after a bachelor's in literature killed it stone dead.

However, kid me would also be appalled at how boring I have become. I hardly ever drink, I don't socialise that much, and I like to start getting ready for bed at 7.30 on a school night.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Some sadness “But when I grow up I want to be a dinosaur”

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

He’d think I am an idiot for paying for my games, when he used to get games from parents and relatives.
He’d also think I am an idiot for gaming so little, and thinking about I should do something more productive while gaming. Especially considering there’s no women around to tell me I shouldn’t waste my time playing games.
He’d be disgusted I eat very few sweets and avoid soda as much as I can.

As for career choices, I am no great detective, no inventor, no superhero - not even a writer or comic book author.
God, what a disappointment I’de be to kid me.
Which would make it so much more pleasurable to slap him in the face and tell him he’s a little irresponsible brat with barely a care in the world, who wants to eat shit and do jack shit for others.

 

[Digital-Aftertaste]

He'd wish me good luck on my ventures that are on the horizon and would think its pretty cool.

 

[GymWolf]

He would be disappointed that i'm not a boxer or a dinosaur archelogist.

 

[Roberts]

Would be disappointed that I'm not flying to work in a hovercraft.

 

[Trunx81]

Apart from my hint to buy as much Bitcoin as possible when it releases, Kid me would probably be quite happy to see that I´m still into video games and haven´t become a boring adult like others. My son thinks I´m cool, so I´ll go with that.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

But you still can't get a girlfriend. Little you learns money doesn't solve everything.

I already have 2 couples...

And one in another state. 3

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

You were never young

 

[Boozeroony]

"Who is that fucking loser?"

 

[drganon]

Disappointed but not surprised.

 

[Idleyes]

We'd be fist bumping right now because we're both always told to grow up.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Younger self would want the money in my bank account.

 

[rubik's dude]

Younger self would want the money in my bank account.

Lol the idea of your younger self sticking up your future self is pretty funny

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Lol the idea of your younger self sticking up your future self is pretty funny

I would backstab myself like Freeza did and take back my dog.

 

[AJUMP23]

Proud I still play video games. Disappointed I wasn’t a space general.

 

[captainpat]

“I need to get my shit in order so I don’t become this loser”

 

[Idleyes]

Real talk, kid me would be jealous of the way I eat now. It was so bad growing up that me and my three siblings once tore a picture of fried chicken out of the newspaper, split it into four servings, sprinkled salt and pepper on it, and actually tried to eat that shit on three. We all spit it out, and broke on each other for being so damn ridiculous.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Kid me would think I was a right old Cunt, just like adult me.

 

[Fbh]

I'm like that fun uncle that when you grow older you realize he is a bit of a looser.
So I think at least kid me would think I'm fun/cool.

Hopefully teen me would be then motivated to study more and waste less time so he doesn't end up becoming me.

 

[jufonuk]

I would hope that kid me likes the me from now

 

[j0hnnix]

Damn you old and slow now.. but I like the bigger TV, Truck and car.. you still slow af man. Let's get a whopper.

 

[Quasicat]

Kid me was told constantly for a couple of years (8-10) to say goodbye because his mom is terminal with brain cancer. He would be happy to see that she is still active in his life 35 years later and got to see her grandchildren.

 

[Banjo64]

Probably why have you become your dad and why are you in a job you don’t like. The anwser I’d give to my kid self would be:

Because I have a family to support, and I know what being a man is now.

 

[f~N_CH_1:3:3:3_SushiBoat]

""Married, traveled and a decent career to sustain your family and hobbies. Good work...... What. The. Fuck......howd you get so fat?! Dude, seriously?! All those dead lifts and 6am workouts..... down the shitter....shame on you....."

 

[Ikutachi]

He'd be surprised at how different and better he'll look after puberty.

 

[John Marston]

He'd be surprised I'm not married with kids, a labrador and a white picket fence (Because that was drilled in our heads at a very young age).
But he'd be glad to see me happy and still gaming

Edit: Oh and he'd be super pumped knowing I'm a game dev with almost 20 years experience.

 

[jason10mm]

To a rather shockingly old kid, he'll be saying "hang on, my future wife isn't even BORN yet???"

 

[nkarafo]

Nah, i was a lazy, introvert kid with zero social skills and ambitions, only caring about videogames. I would not be surprised my future self is still single and broke in his 40s and still only caring about videogames.

The only thing that would probably surprise me is my future self being much stronger and more fit than i would expect him to be since as a kid i also hated sports and exercising. I was a skinny weakling but i decided to change that in my mid 20's. This was the only improvement i had in my life. It's something.

 

[Laptop1991]

Kid me would hate how old i look lol

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Probably very confused and scared at what I would tell him…

 

[reinking]

Kid me would not give a fuck.

 

[Dice]

Kid me would be pretty happy to see I didn’t die in the hood AND made it out.

 

[clem84]

The title of this thread broke my brain for a few seconds. Then I saw everyone replying to it normally and I was like...

 

[ReBurn]

Kid me would be impressed with the toys I have.

 

[Edmund]

Kid me - I'd rather die than be a piano teacher

Adult me - You'd grow up to be a piano teacher. And enjoy it!

Kid me - *shocked face*

 

[light2x]

Kid me wanted to able to fly. He had unrealistic expectations, to say the least.
