Here's my would you rather for this week: Would you rather become five years older or two years younger? I would rather become two years younger. Comment what you think and why!

auntieb

Two years younger for sure!! Getting older is hard! >_<

inmemoryofcpr

2 years younger, because time goes by so quickly, you have very little time to enjoy your childhood while you can.

callie_b

Two years younger so I could just chill for a few years HAHA

chocolate168

I rather become 2 years younger, then I'll be the same age as my younger brother.

shayshaygirl25

loveturtle

I honestly don’t know. I like the age I’m at!
