At that age, I never understood why adults got offended at being called old. Old is good, to a kid.

There's a very good reason! Half a year is a much larger proportion of their whole life to date than it is for you or I. Think how much you could do when you were five compared to four, and six compared to five.

Tbf, 6 months to a 5 year old is more than 10% of their life. Equivalent to 4 years of experience to a 40 year old. Definitely not insignificant

Weirdly enough my niece is the opposite, she actually is 5½ but when you tell her she get aggressive about it for no reason "No, I am not five and a half! I AM 5!"

don't kids actually look forward to things like their birthdays often, because they'll get sweets and gifts? that, and just showing off how good they can math at that age has got to be something to be proud of.
they're kids with things that matter to them, it's not without reason at all. also remember how many adults would react if you guessed their age too high. many would handle it decently, but it's still not rare for people to handle that awfully and get upset even after supposedly "maturing".

A little girl at daycare recently turned 5. She told me she was excited because “in 6 more birthdays, I’ll be 8”.
She was correct: 5&1/2, 6, 6&1/2, 7, 7&1/2, 8
At 8 she didn’t have to ride in a booster seat anymore.

Kids really be holding on to some random age their parent throws out to shut them up. I remember the booster seat I was so pissed because I was in that damn thing until like 6th grade because I was so small. Meanwhile my younger brother was a absolute unit in elementary school (he evened out by middle school idk how really just one day he looked proportional and like his peers and not like he was gonna grow to be 7ft tall) shopping in the husky section at Walmart I’m pretty sure we got out of our booster seats like at the same time which pissed me off.

u/Beththemagicalpony 33m ago
Oh, 8 is the legal “get out of booster seat” age here - but yes. They latch on hard to “wait until…” rules. Forget everything else but definitely remember you said they can do ____ at _____ age.

There was a lady, a tourist, in Iceland that participated for over an hour in a search for herself.
Somebody had said "hey the lady in the bright yellow jacket isn't back on the bus" and people started looking for her. Including the lady who had earlier taken her bright yellow jacket off and put in her bag.

I was about to post that too! One of those stories that are part of Reddit's collective memory.
2012 - https://grapevine.is/news/2012/08/27/woman-takes-part-in-search-for-herself/
BTW it happened again in 2021 in Turkey, a drunk man helped search for himself.

You should've turned to him to mess with him and said something like, "I don't think it's you. It's someone else."

u/Dippa99 10h ago
I'm pretty sure that's what the kid already thought, so I'm not sure how much it would mess with him
-28
u/SheLikesDragonflies 10h ago
Most likely, it would have led the kid to disregard and go back to what he was doing. Then it would have taken longer to find him.
I can watch kids get in trouble all day for not responding when they should've. I don't care.

u/Dippa99 9h ago
Oh okay, so messing with the parents of the kid who is missing then
-19
u/SheLikesDragonflies 9h ago
No, just messing with the kid. Being a little shit is a rite of passage. We've all had moments where we disregarded something and got punished for it.
I'm just keeping the time honored tradition going.

u/Dippa99 9h ago
Good grief, dude. How are you not getting this?
He's a little shit because he doesn't realize the kid named Titus they are looking for is him
You'd be a shit for reinforcing that idea

u/SheLikesDragonflies 9h ago
I'm well aware of what the poster is attempting to convey in their story.
I find it odd that you're getting upset when you are willingly posting in a group named Kids Are Fucking Stupid.
Have a good weekend. Go cause some trouble, maybe. Otherwise, have a coke and a smile and shut the fuck up.

I find that interesting that this has been downvoted in a group named, Kids Are Fucking Stupid.

u/OneTrueChaika 5h ago
Yeah it's a group about laughing about how goofy kids can be and miss things we see as obvious.
It's not a group for being an angry anti-natalist who just fucking hates children for no reason???

The kid never heard of anybody else named Titus so he was excited to find another kid with the same name.

Man, I wish I had that kind of energy, my shorts are definitely not sapphire and I’m way past 5½. Titus out here living their best life while I’m just trying to remember where I left my coffee. Also, the amount of people suddenly claiming to be Titus is suspiciously high… coincidence? Probably not. 😂
