30 Instances Kids Were Unintentionally Hilarious By Not Understanding The Concept Of Age
The things said from a squishy-cheeked face with the most innocent toothless smile can hurt surprisingly bad.
Things like "you're 18, how come you're unmarried, what's wrong with you?" Oh, the toothless things I was talking about are children, not talking frogs from the cursed forest–this is real life and real adults' egos get bruised when kids try guessing their age.
Twitter user @msdanifernandez helped to collect many of these Shakespearean (and not so sophisticated ones, let's be honest here) insults into one place, and we selected the best/worst for you to laugh at.

Me too - lots of kids experienced this. When I saw Wizard of Oz, my head nearly exploded.

I would probably have said "Actually you can die at any age! Some people even die while they're still babies!", but then I have a history of saying things to children I probably shouldn't. :p

Because we all know that every woman's purpose in life is to get married as soon as possible. /s

We had SO MUCH FUN without phones or internet. Probably more fun then you are having right now.

i misread this initially as "helping bring back their 7 year old" like as in bring back to life. Needless to say i was momentarily confused.

I get a little kid not grasping age...But when someone in their teens or 20's doesn't get it (eg: a 45 year old isn't a baby boomer) it just makes them look stupid.

I'm 38 so probably a crossover, but I don't understand the generation naming thing, it's stupid and doesn't even work. Stop trying to label and compartmentalise EVERYTHING, it's more annoying than the American obsession of crowbarring acronyms into every.single.thing.in.life

When I was a young swim instructor (17-23) I would occasionally ask my students how old they though I was. The youngest kids guesses were hilarious. Sometimes they would seem to throw out random numbers, 9, 80, 42. Sometimes they would have some sort of logic like , you must be older than my brother and he is 8, so you must be at least 10. Or my grandma just had her 70th birthday, I don't think you're as old as her so you're probably about 60.

I actually have a funny story on this topic. I was four, and asked my dad, "Daddy?" "What?" he said. "Were people alive in the 1990's?"
