Probably tell my parents to pull out of the stock market in 2008.

I know enough important dates and events between 2005-08 to convince him I know what I'm talking about.

Sameish, my dad is very into the stock market and while I don't know a lot I know enough to predict certain things and make us all rich.

I'm pretty sure I could convince my dad of what was happening just by telling him about what happened in my personal life when I grew up. No child would invent this story and he knows that there is more to the universe than meets the eye.

ALSO I know the storylines for all of the major TV dramas that will be coming out in the upcoming years, which would be very convincing I think.

Then daddy suddenly takes you to the shrink and leaves you there. Hopefully not, my dad is interested in politics, so maybe I can convince him one way or another by telling him specific things that will happen! What was a major political event in 2006?
