If I had a clicker, I would rewind, to see how ridiculous I was when I was a toddler. If I had a clicker, I would fast forward to see how my life will be, when I'm older. If I had a clicker, I would pause, and do whatever I want, without anyone knowing. If I had a clicker, I would fast forward, to skip bad fights with my parents. If I had a clicker, I would slo mo, and giggle about how everyone sounded. If I had a clicker, I would mute, if I really did not like what someone was saying. If I had a clicker, I would turn up the volume, if I was really in a moment. If I had a clicker, I would turn down the volume, if my eardrums were about to explode. If I had a clicker, I would pause, then rewind, then play. To rethink, and then resay, things that I insulted people on. If I had a clicker, I would rewind, if I hadn't heard something correctly, or at all. If I had a clicker, I would pause, to think about things that I have done, that I might want to change.
