CBC Radio’s WireTap took a video of people of all ages (7 to 92) to find out what advice they would give someone younger.
And the outcome was hysterical!
A 7-year-old gave advice to a 6-year-old:
“Dear 6-year-old, training wheels are for babies, just let go already.” “Regards, a 7-year-old.”
An 8-year-old gave advice to an 7-year-old:
“Dear 7-year-old, no matter what anyone says, STAY WEIRD! Signed, an 8-year-old.”
A 9-year-old gave advice to an 8-year-old:
“Dear 8-year-old, find out your babysitter’s weakness then use it against them. Signed, a 9-year-old.”
A 12-year-old gave advice to a 9-year-old:
“Dear 9-year-old, don’t get involved with the ‘popular kids.’ They’re narcissistic capitalists that know nothing about politics. Signed, a 12-year-old.”
And so on.. All the way up to a 92-year-old, skipping a few ages in between..
The full video will make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings at the same time as the wisdom of the older people gets more sentimental..
