    When is this from? When I was the age of the two kids shown, both of my parents were over 40 and I (nor my peers) wouldn’t have thought these things. Now I am over 40 and I still don’t think these things. I have a niece from a younger sibling who is this age, and she might think these things, but she is also allowed unfiltered access to youtube except when I am around.

      Yeah, the kids under ten that are in my life know how old their parents are, and can make reasonable assessments of the age of other adults from that. They would never think someone who is 40 looks more like someone who is in their 60s or 70s.

          Yeah kids are often off, by a good amount, but I haven’t really seen one multiple decades out of whack with reality. Maybe toddlers, but these kids are 7. Now they probably would say 40 is old, but wouldn’t ascribe attributes to a 40 year old they see in actual elderly people.

          Might be the country, but I am in the US, and we are supposed to be stupid, especially the current generation of brain rotten children, so I don’t know.
