What would you do if you found a younger version of one of your parents here?

Do you stay away from them in order to reduce the chances of causing a time paradox?

Do you team up with them and risk everything to make sure they stay safe?

Do you just sit them down and tell them you're their kid from the future?

What if something happens to them? Will you stop existing since it would mean you weren't ever born in the first place?

Has this happened to anyone before??

Wow, so you're a time traveler? I guess it's good to know that I'm not in too much danger of screwing things up, but...does that mean it's impossible to change how the future plays out?

In most cases, yes. To change something in the future, you'd have to something super crazy. The only time it happened in my knowledge was when time travel was just invented and not perfected. Besides, the event in question was an epic battle to decide the fate of the world.

For something comparatively insignificant like this, you ought to be fine.

Insignificant for you, maybe, but the fate of a lot of people could possibly be riding on this! My parents weren't exactly a couple of nobodies, you know. And I was

I guess it's good to know there are several people with time travel experience here, though. Thanks for your input.

I said "comparatively" for a reason. Compared to a battle for the fate of the world, I'd say one child is pretty insignificant. I'm not claiming to know everything about you, though. Sorry for any hurt feelings.

I'm glad to know I was able to help.

No hurt feelings. It's just [there's another ink blot here, as if the person writing had to think about what to say]...it's a little more complicated than that. I'm afraid I can't go into a lot of details.

I guess I just need to do what I think is right and hope things turn out for the best...
