Bonus points if someone warned you and you went ahead anyway.

    Your grandparents/parents had a whole life before you. Loves, wishes, likes, dislikes. You can ask them about literally any topic in the world and they will probably be happy to talk to you about it. Where was their first holiday? What did they watch on TV, who was their hero, what job did they actually want to do.

    One day they will be gone before you if life goes the natural way and it will be too late to ask and you may regret not taking a moment for a chat.

      Along with asking them things, go do shit with them when they show interest in things you might like, you never know if you’ll get that chance again.

      I still remember turning my grandfather down on a trip to go see Sue (the big fukkin TRex) when I was younger because I was playing with a friend that day and was a little shit. That memory is like a core regret, and I don’t think he ever made an offer like that again…
