Also, I'd say don't go see any movies with Dennis Quaid in them. Except that one, but that's just to humor your future husband.

I had this post all planned for today, to participate with Funky Foto Flashbacks. But then I saw that Julie at the Cool Mom Guide has a fantastic contest going on, where you can win two video phones and 6 months of video yakkin' from Vidtel. All you have to do is blog about who you would give the other phone to. So I started to come up with a post about that. And then the two posts MELTED TOGETHER IN MY BRAIN.
So, who would I give the phone to? Myself, of course. The really young me, so we could have a few heart-to-hearts.
Okay, so it's not physically possible. But what's to say something weird couldn't happen and I could talk to myself, like in that terrible movie with Dennis Quaid?
Wait. That doesn't really narrow it down for you, does it?
Uhm...let me just google that quickly. Oh! Right. Frequency, THAT terrible movie with Dennis Quaid.
What would I say to myself?
Well, first, I would say DON'T YOU DARE PUSH YOUR LITTLE BROTHER DOWN THE STAIRS IN THAT THING.
Then I would tell Me that just because some stupid high school aptitude test tells you that you can do whatever you want, doesn't mean you shouldn't pick something. And to get in as many hugs and talks as you can, because that's what's important and what you'll remember. And that I'm right, I do have the bestest friends in the world. And that everything works out in the end, and if it hasn't worked out, it's not the end.
Also, I might mention where Mom hides the GOOD cookies, but I don't want Me to get fat so maybe not.

Um, please don't tell me you actually pushed him doen the stairs. And Dennis Quais - well, he is one handsome fellow. I'll watch him anytime. Sorry - don't mean to disgust you.
I love that photo! This may inspire me to participate in the funky fotoness.
And great advice.

All this talk of phones and cookies has me hungry for some Thin Mints.
Poor little brother!
And I hated Frequency, too.

Amazing how the average walker has transformed into the modern MegaSaucer.

Awesome picture. Just out of curiosity, what do you consider a good vs bad cookie?

Please tell me you didn't push that poor kid down the stairs. I don't mind Dennis Quaid so much, it's Kevin Costner I can't stand. I'll watch Frequency for the rest of eternity as long as I don't have to sit through Waterworld. Ugh.

Something tells me that walker wasn't OSHA (or the Canadian version) approved.
Couldn't today's Me tell little Me about some winning lottery numbers or something? Okay, not like children can buy lottery tickets anyway but you could have worked something out!

Girl, what kind of exersaucer is that!? There's only beads! Where are the fun and loud buttons that flash and go beep and drive adults crazy? Maybe older Keely should tell younger Keely to start working on that now and beat the rest of the companies on inventing baby time-suck devices..

Its a good thing that we can't talk to ourselves. I mean, how would we have had all the experience to know better if we didn't do all those crazy things. If I think about this too long, my head is going to hurt, isn't it?

OK. Just to make this easier/possible for you, please send word to past-self that they/you will need to sign up for high-speed internet because that's a requirement for the phone. If past-self is confused by this just tell them the internet is totally worth it and they/you will be the envy of all their/your peers who haven't heard of the internet yet. Just tell them you invented it.

Wow Keely, I think you'd give Little Keely lots of good advice! But I do wonder what the difference between a good and bad cookie is!

LOVE the picture! Inquiring minds want to know - did you push your brother down the stairs or not? And what's the difference between a good cookie and a bad cookie? ;) Funny Post as usual! ;)

Damn, that thing looks dangerous but you were a pretty cool looking kid! Good choice for the phone recipient, I'm assuming if you called backwards, the minutes wouldn't rack up at all, no?
