Things I Would Tell My 15-Year-Old Self for Shock ValueFebruary 7, 2007 Maybe this is a strange thing to ponder, but I've been devoting time to this idea. If I could go back in a time machine and talk to my 15-year-old self, these are the things I'd say for one reason only...to see the look on my (her?) face. Sure, I'd probably say sensible things like "stay out of the sun" or "buy Microsoft stock", but, duh. The things below would shock me more at 15. So, Staci, when you are 38 years old... |

You will carry a TELEPHONE in your purse. No kidding. There will even be a little computer screen on it, so you can see who is calling before you answer. At the risk of totally blowing your mind - you can take pictures with it, too. |
 |
You will still wear Converse. |
 |
If, when you're watching tv, you need to get up and go to the bathroom or something, you can just PAUSE it like a VCR. I'm totally not kidding. (Oh, and you will still say things like "totally".) |
 |
You will still like the same music, but naturally your tastes will expand. Instead of cassettes, all of your music collection will be stored on this little thing. Again, another computer screen! They're everywhere, I swear! |
 |
You will still knit. You'll knit with the passion you had for it at age 8, not with the lackadaisical ennui you have now at 15. You'll really like it again. |
 |
Oh - one last thing. You're going to grow up to be the kind of person who pays a professional to photograph your dogs. Stop laughing, Staci. Go put on some sunscreen. |
