What I’d Do If My Mom Told Me I was Really 5 Years Older Than I Really Am

Category: ,

What would I Do If My Mom Told Me I was Really 5 Years Older Than I Am? My friend Bill from work asked me this question and I found it to be very thought provoking and engaging. I think the first emotion that would come to me would be depression due to the fact that I’d be now dying 5 years earlier than expected. No one likes dying or do they? Do you know anyone that is looking forward to death that isn’t already in massive amounts of pain?

I’d then ask my mom “Why the fuck didn’t you tell me I’m really 32 years old?” I’d think back to when I thought anyway that I was 16 years old but was really 21 years old and making out with a 16 year old girl. That’s kind of sick isn’t it? I’d think about when I was 12 but really 17 and only then did I begin to go through puberty. I think I’d be emotionally scared. I’d go from a mighty cocky young 27 year old to an old 32 year old guy who hasn’t accomplished much of anything in life.

I definitely wouldn’t be happy at all. There’s nothing exciting about finding out that you are 5 years older than you thought you were. Maybe when you are a kid and you want to be older but once you pass the age of 21, you are in no rush of getting older. In fact you’re the opposite. You start to think about how cool it would be to be 18 years old again and not have to work 40 hours a week or listen to some corporate blah blah speech.

Please mom don’t break my heart one day and tell me I am really 5 years older than I think I am. If that does happen I may just have start taking more risks in life. A person that takes risks is a person who is destined for failure and no one likes a failure.

What would you do?

    Lime: your main goal should be to meet me cause everyone that meets me feels years younger when they are around me

  3. Lime May 24th, 2007 4:49 am

  4. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 5:35 am

    I would really be immature for my age. Oh well, people tell me I look like I am 20.

  6. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 6:54 am

    Mikki: how old are you really minus the 5 years your mom just added to your age?!?!

  7. dirty May 24th, 2007 7:49 am

    Nothing would change…I would still tell people I’m 25 like I do now…no biggie.

  8. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 7:58 am

    dirty: but we’d all know you were lying and that you were really 32

  9. dirty May 24th, 2007 8:05 am

  13. Mikki from Boston May 24th, 2007 9:28 am

    i am 27 years old, just like u. so lets add the 5 so i would 32.

    so that means i would of had my first kiss @20 years old. i would of graduated high school at 23 years old. i would of finished kindergarden at 10 years old. i guess i would be immature and mentally slow, if i were really 5 years older.

  14. Erin May 24th, 2007 9:28 am

    I would just ask my mom why and what the hell were you thinking?! And carry on as usual, I guess…and give myself a pat on the back for looking damn good for 39!

  15. Erica AP May 24th, 2007 9:37 am

    Are you trying to rub it in my face that my birthday is coming up? And don’t you dare tell anyone how old I’ll be. 24 is a very sensitive age!!

  16. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 10:43 am

    lime: do you have a photo of her?

    Mikki: haha i just totally started laughing “i would of finished kindergarden at 10 years old”

    Erin: confidence is so sexy

    Erica: all i have to say is “1977″ was a great year

  17. Mikki from Boston May 24th, 2007 11:10 am

    preschool @ 9 years

    this stuff is silly!

  18. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 11:26 am

    Mikki: i thought you were a dude! do you have a myspace or website?

  19. Erica AP May 24th, 2007 11:43 am

    Oh my god Gregg… You are 35 years old?? Damn!!! You are one old hoe!!

  20. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 11:48 am

    Erica: if i’m 35 you’ve gotta be at least 40!

  21. Matt May 24th, 2007 1:53 pm

    I don’t know. It’d depend what the 16 year-old girl looked like.

  22. gregg o'connell May 24th, 2007 1:55 pm

    Matt: you could always pretend that even though she thinks she’s 16 she’s really 21 b/c her mom hasn’t told her yet of the 5 years older thing

  23. Mikki from Boston May 24th, 2007 2:35 pm
