That "right, I'm an adult" moment

[author_by_night]

Today's is seeing a picture of a bunch of adorable little kids you figure must be eight, nine...

Who are eleven.

Seriously, when did eleven year olds start looking so young??

(I'm only 30, too. By the time I'm sixty I'll be asking them if they know their colors.)

One of my patient's grandsons is regularly around when I'm visiting. I thought he was about 7. He's 13, and short for his age. I'm really glad I didn't stick my foot in my mouth.

Have any of them called you "ma'am" yet? That was weird, first time it happened...

I've found myself less and less able to judge children's ages! It's all a mystery to me...

You recalibrate if you have children.

I've always been terrible at judging ages lol, even when I was young myself I always thought that kids who were younger than me were much younger than they actually were

Then there's when you say 'oh, that kid' ~ and realise they're twenty three now! Sorry, happened to me today...:(
