What would I do if I was temporarily turned into a child? Wow, hard to even remember the whole time as a kid thing. I don't think I was that much different as a kid, except you know shorter than I am now. Possibly much geekier, the whole red hair and freckles thing just does not go over well until a certain point in your life.
I think what I'd normally do is follow the things I used to do as a kid but then I'd have to pretend Sunnydale wasn't a big hole in the ground with possible exits into China. Hey, we're pretending aren't we?
The day would start with walking to the corner 7-11 and checking out the comics on the spinning rack. They don't really have those much anymore but they were very cool to look through. Check out one whole row top to bottom and spin just a little and look, all new books to look at. May not seem like much anymore but when you're under 10 it's kind of magic. Then buy a couple with the change I've scraped up along with a big slurpee and immediately go to sit under the hedges and hide out while they get read at least twice.
That part was key because my folks like all parents had this whole if you're sitting you must need chores thing going for them.
Really I don't think I'd plan much other than hope I wasn't really a werewolf then and that if I was it wasn't the full moon because tiny tot werewolves are sometimes less than careful about the whole biting thing.
