Most of us on Pixar Planet are in are late teens or early 20s so we grown up like Andy. Have you ever missed being a kid. I think it would be fun and if friends were kids two. So would you want to be a kid again for a day?
I do see what you mean, but if I’m quite honest, no, I don’t miss being a kid. There are good things and bad things about being a kid and for me, the bad things outweigh the good. I like being independent in a way that I could never have been when I was younger, I like having a job and earning money, I like being able to do the things that overage people are allowed to do.
Admittedly, I don’t have the same amount of responsibility as a proper adult just yet, not paying bills or taxes or that sort of thing, hence I actually think this is the best time in life- being at college. It’s a lifestyle I don’t think anyone can fault. 
Though yes, it would be nice to just let go and be able to play and that sort of thing without people thinking you’re strange. That’s the great thing for the Pixarians; they’re still allowed to be children sometimes even at work, with their scooters and chimpanzees and giant paper aeroplane competitions.
Well said. Although, I’m not quite in college yet.
Well I’m a fair bit older than your average on this forum. There are times as an adult with a family when you look back and wonder where the time went. I don’t think I would enjoy being a kid again for a day. Things are different now, some of the innocence has gone. A sign of the times I guess. Going back in time to when
I was a child is different. Seeing friends and family that are gone would be great.
Still, I regress to childhood everytime I play with my kids. I collect toy story stuff with my kids. Being young isn’t about age or looks. It’s how you think and feel. When I’m Zurg chasing my son around the room, I’m a child again anyway. To my family I’m the biggest kid in the house. I like it that way.
No, I wouldn’t like being a little kid again. I got into too much trouble, and I don’t want another red rear. 
I personally find most of the ‘adult perks’ to be overrated. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a lad’s mag or a Baileys every now and then, or being able to drive my own car instead of being ‘chauffered’ by my mum, but the rest of it like clubbing, watching R-rated movies (which if it gets too OTT, I find offensive) and smoking (which I despise after years of my dad trying to kick the habit unsuccessfully) aren’t what they cracked up to be.
Plus, people expect you to be reserved, and keep things close to your chest. Being particularly passionate or exuberant about something either makes people think you’re obsessed, or overenthusiastic about it, which really invites inquisitive stares or eye-rolling. You’re also expected to act more ‘matured’, so that means doing the boring stuff like paying bills (my bro and I always fight over whose turn is it to do this), household chores (no one’s picking up your laundry this time) and earning your own keeps (which is immensely satisfying, but it also means no one’s paying for you anymore).
My best relationship with my parents was when I was primary-school age. We would do things like go the mosquito-ridden local parks together for cycling, or play ping-pong in our backyard. And those lazy Saturday mornings, with Disney cartoons on till noon… I was the best and most motivated in my studies then, so I usually finished my homework pretty quick. I also had the most number of friends in elementary, and we would visit each other (cos’ we were all in the same neighbourhood).
So, if I were to be given one day to be a kid once more, why not? It would be on a Saturday… cartoons in the morning, playing ABL the computer game in the afternoon, cycling with my sibs in the backyard in the evening, and going for a dinner outing with my friends to end the day.
sigh
I’ve been a very nostalgic person at times, so I think that most people who are nostalgic for the past are those who deep down probably want to relive their youth. To answer the question, I don’t know… maybe.
I wouldn’t mind being a kid again for a day. I kinda miss being a kid every now and then because back then you don’t have much worries.
I had a pretty decent childhood despite the big bumps that my family and I have hit along the way. I wouldn’t mind going back to the good old days. I miss the good days where the only thing I worried about was catching the next episodes of Pokemon and Sailor Moon, among other shows. I also miss the days where I would count down to Christmas and my birthday because I knew that I was gonna get spoiled with not only cake and candy, but toys. <3
If I had to chose a specific day to go back to… I don’t think that I can really chose. There is lots of simple things that I would love to go back to. Like playing handball with my friends during our lunch break, goofing off on homework till the last minute, being carefree and curious about everything, you know things like that.
Sadly, like many of us I now have to worry about adult things; repaying student loans, maintaining a car, insurance, and that’s just the just of it. It’ll be alright though. I’ll make sure that the day I have kids that they enjoy their childhood. I can re-live it through them. 
If I could go back to a period before my Mom passed away (she passed away when I was 15), I might be interested.
However, am I allowed to keep my own knowledge? Or will my mind regress to my then-aged mind? That would be a tad sadder: being oblivious to what will eventually occur. If I was allowed to keep my thoughts from my current age, I’d probably be trying to make the most out of that one day.
Maybe if I was at the age of 12, end the evening listening to my Mom working at her sewing machine, then giving her a hug and a kiss, admitting outright how much I love her (but not letting on that I know what will occur in the next few years), before falling asleep, hearing her working in the kitchen next to my bedroom, the sewing machine humming as she works on another sewing project. I’d probably try to savor that sound before sleep eventually overtook me, returning me to the present day.
At 29, I might be the oldest here, who knows. Personally I enjoy being an adult. Life was awkward enough as a wee Omar, now I’m just physically bigger, and a bit more intelligent, but that’s about it. I’m just as awkward and seen as obsessed just because I’m passionate about some things. I’m a nerd and a geek because I know a lot about various things. Nothing’s really changed as I’ve grown, but as Woody says, “I wouldn’t miss it for the world”.
Besides, now I can buy almost whatever toys I want to. -Omar
Thought that would go the other way around as you get older, but I’m glad you’re still in the spirit.
Well I still collect toys, stickers, and occaisonally (oh no!!! 
) color, so I’m still a kid…even if I’m almost 15…I’ll still be like this when I’m married and have real kids, so, yeah…
IngrediGirlVirginia, coloring’s awesome. Just wanted to say that
Dinoco, well I say almost because there’s still “boring things” like food, room, board etc to think about. But I do make time for my toys. Let’s just say unlike what the Prospector said, I took my toys to college, and as for my honeymoon, whoever I marry better get used to 40 eyes staring at her sometime at least. -Omar
