Night-Gaunt49–I remember that story! I remember also how they hypothesized about the possibility of an alternate universe in which time flowed the other way (that is, the way it does for us)… which led to the memorable line about how people in the alternate (our) universe would eat and… “instead of increting and exgesting like we do…”
And there, in two words, we see the problem with living your life backwards…
BTW, yesterday’s Mythtickle strip concerned how Merlin goes through time backwards.
FishStix; hope you didn’t mind, but I had to quote your anecdote elsewhere for some friends. LOL
I think I”ve seen it before, but it always makes me laugh.

This was a good one. I actually remember those days when life was full of kid drama.
LOL, FishStix! That was hilarious!

Similar to “Benjamin Button” by F. Scott Fitzgerald in the 20’s.

I’ve heard it in the form of a folksong – love it in any version.
