Walk up to a small child that ressembles you, and tell them that you are them from the future

My Bucket List: Task #2

Once you get started with a bucket list, you will find that you will spontaneously start doing things that you would have never imagined before. The best part about it? You start doing them without even thinking about any tactics whatsoever!

My next task was to walk up to a small child that looked like me when I was young, and tell them that I am them from the future. Of course, when I came up with this idea, I thought to myself 'how on earth will I manage to do this one?!'
It may seem like a tough task, but believe me, it was easier than I thought! It's one of those tasks where you must absolutely not search to find a child that looks like you but do it on the spot when you do happen to land on one.

It all happened in Marks&Spencers (for those who know the shop), in Paris, in the 15th arrondissement. It was the day before I went to see Justin Timberlake in concert. I was, again, with my parents. But this time, it was my mother who pointed this little girl out to me - this might seem wrong when you first read this, but trust me, it turns out well and gets better. This little girl's mother was wondering if she would like some hot cross buns, and strangely, she was asking her in English, but with a French accent. So obviously, this little girl was learning English. All the better! So, she didn't know what a Hot Cross Buns were and my mum quickly popped her head over her shoulder and said "Yes please!". This poor little thing didn't know what was happening. That's when my mum quickly turned around to me and said "you're in." I didn't get it at first until my mum asked me if I hadn't noticed that that little girl looked just like me when I was young. BINGO! It was a hint!
So I hoped that I would walk past her again, and  luckily I did! In the sweet section. Moreover, she was looking at my favourite sweets. So I guess we did have something in common.

This was the quick little conversation I had with her:
"Why didn't you say yes to the hot cross buns?"
She looked at me, startled.
"You know, I once made a terrible decision like that when I was young, for the same reasons. I wasn't quite so sure what a 'hot cross bun' was at first but they looked sooooo yummy!"
"And what did you do?"
"I quickly turned around and asked my mummy to buy them eventually."
"And did she?"
"She did. And I'm so happy that I changed my mind."
Her face started to look confused.
"You know something?", I asked her, "the reason why I'm telling you this is because later on you will regret it."
"How do you know?"
"If I tell you, will you promise to keep it a secret?"
"Yes."
"It's because I am you. Yes, I am you from the future. But now that I have told you, I must go."
And the little girl looked amazed. The next thing I heard were her footsteps running away.

What happened then? We saw her mum buying her a packet of hot cross buns.

Mission accomplished.
