Yes. I discovered that my parents never really loved each other, and that my mother wished for most of her marriage that she had married someone else. I learned this when I was in my early teens and would give quite a bit NOT to know it.

I can truly say no. There are countless things I discovered later that I wish I could have discovered as a child. However, I think a lot of adults feel that way; "If I knew then what I know now." I suppose some people really value the childhood innocence that they experienced but I never cared for it too much, even at the time. I've never believed in Santa, for example.

An aptitude for math. Just because a kid scores high on some standardized math test doesn't mean you need to shove him into advanced math classes! Being good at something has nothing to do with liking something. I don't enjoy math and never have, despite doing well at the basics of it at a young age. If only some mean teacher hadn't made me take some boring math quiz and gotten all excited that I answered a couple more right than most students (I bet I was just guessing anyway!) as a kid, I wouldn't have failed calculus twice in high school. An aptitude for something can only get you so far, and there were no other math classes left for me to take. Totally ridiculous! Curse you, ancient ancestors, for inventing such a horrible subject to torment school children with.
