12-year-old Jeremiah McDonald (ostensibly) recorded a tape in 1992, holding an imaginary interview with his future self. 20 years later, present-day Jeremiah found it and turned it into a conversation with some creative editing.

Unfortunately, he’s also a little confused about pet lifespans. We’re guessing plenty of us made tapes like this, but most of us probably never bothered to respond once “the future” had arrived.
