If those were my options I'd totally give it to a friend, but tbh I'd rather give it to an enemy.
I have no desire to relive childhood, I don't think it could possibly have been made any more pleasant for me but it wasn't something I would voluntarily go back to without some excellent reason, and I don't think I would do any better next time.
If they get a parent swap there are some friends I would happily hand it out to, but if it's just a do-over in general I'd rather give it to someone I didn't like - after all, they might turn out better next time!
(hi guys, it is Procrastination O'Clock here, where I bury my head in the sand and try not to do anything worthwhile for a month or so in order to recharge - I am still available for doing minor useful things but given I now have three Possible Major Projects that people are failing to get back to me about, I don't have any Major Planning Space or amazing reserves of cope right now)

There's probably a good year or two where you can't focus your eyes or move your hands well enough to consistantly read a book or operate a computer. Your parents and other authority figures are unlikely to understand your precocious behaviour, and will attempt to restrict you to 'age-appropriate' material and interactions.
Excellent schools are difficult to find and even more difficult to have the wherewithal to be accepted at - it's a big geographical, social and economic lottery whether you could get into one.
I'm only just climbing out of the pit where no-one pays attention to me because I don't have the seniority / experience to possibly be right about anything - I don't want to plunge myself back into it again!
There's nothing I desperately want to learn which can be learnt just by reading books or practicing, anyway. Everything I currently want to learn can only really be learnt by getting out there and doing things (management skills, people skills).
