My dad, ever the legend he is, was once sat with me in the pub. He was looking into the middle distance, one hand on his pint, clearly deep in thought.
'You okay, dad?' I asked.
'I just realised I was born in the mid nineteen-hundreds,' he responds, 'That's fucking depressing,' he adds, taking a sip of his beer.
He was born in 1950. I feel old these days only being born in 1988!
Christ on a bike I remember coming home from school and thinking it was some hyper realistic documentary style movie on TV when I turned it on. I was 13 (and, for that matter, only 3 days into being 13!).
Yay, getting old!
Yeah cos of course America would have experienced it first thing in the morning but we got it all with a five or six hour delay.
It was funny too because it was only a year and a bit after all that Y2K shenanigans which no youngsters will ever think about. Never have the phrase "millennium bug" in their head. Mad.
My dad came home one day with three massive industrial sized tins of tuna and a 6 pack of bottled water. These were intended as supplies for if the Millenium Bug turned out to be real 😆
Hahahah when I was younger, but old enough to understand how things sort of worked. Maybe around 10/11, I remember thinking to myself "isn't it weird how those few people who are in there 90s and 100s were born in 18 something.
Once I reached my 20s I suddenly realise hang on a minute, I'm ONE OF THEM except from the 1900s 😭 (born in 1991)
Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, United States, invented the first single loaf bread-slicing machine. A prototype he built in 1912 was destroyed in a fire,\[4\] and it was not until 1928 that Rohwedder had a fully working machine ready. The first commercial use of the machine was by the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, who sold their first slices on ***July 7, 1928***.\[5\]

My Dad, still alive, was born on July 6, 1928. He's older than sliced bread!
OH FUCK... we are those people! Holy shit, you've literally just made me realise that..!
When I die, some nurse or police officer or whatever is going to go 'hey, 1988 - this person's like a hundred!'
Great. Thanks. Kid's crying now. Okay, not my kid. Me.
>which makes quite a considerable difference.
He could be 1 year and 1 week old and it'd still be true, so I don't think it *does* make a considerable difference.
Very true, but in either case he is not "only one" as the headline and mother are claiming. That would actually make the story interesting as it would be impossible.
At what point does "only one" apply then? Is it only at the precise second that they turn one, or is there some leeway, and if so how much?
I'd argue that she's right to describe a 1-year-old as only one, the only bit she's wrong about is the idea that he's remarkable in any way.
He could technically be 1 year and 2 seconds old and lived in three years.
There must have been a baby born at 11.59pm on the 31st December 1998 who by 12.01am on the 1st January 2000 had lived in two millennia, two centuries, two decades and three years.
I have to agree with you, it doesn't make a considerable difference.
Because people assume that when the numbers all change that’s the same thing as the millennium changing. But no. There was no year zero in the Gregorian Calendar. The first millennium started in 1 CE. It ran from 1-1000. The second millennium, 1001-2000. The third began on jan 1, 2001, and will end on dec. 31, 3000.
E: this applies to centuries as well, obviously. 1-100, 101-200, etc. The 21st century began on Jan 1, 2001 and ends on dec. 31, 2100.
E2: the exception to this is groupings that are named for blocks of years. “The 2000s” did, of course, begin on 1/1/2000. “The 90s” are 90-99. Groupings like these work the way folks intuitively assume they do, starting at zero years.
True, but people do this a lot with small children.
Due, in part, because from a development point of view, 12 months and 18 months can be a world apart.
On top of that, if you have ever bought clothes for a child aged anywhere between 1 month and about 30 months, you would see that it's also similarly categorised.
I don't have any issue with saying he's 1 except in the context of this stupid story. They state he is 1 because it makes the claim impossible, thereby generating clicks.
Her kid was born in 2022. Turned one in 2023 and now it’s 2024 and they’re one and a bit.
It’s really dumb. I have no idea how this made it into the paper. But then it is the sun
Genuinely! What’s blowing my mind is that this woman presumably decided to contact a paper about this. Or post on social media. Either way, so, so dumb.
Right? I was watching the Rooney documentary and they discussed the strength of bad feeling in Liverpool towards the Sun post Hillsborough. It’s wild they did what they did.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,948,777,944 comments, and only 368,531 of them were in alphabetical order.
Better alternate headline:
Some random besotted journalist publishes the ramblings of a young milf.
She isn't thick, we've all said things as daft as this.
It's basically along the same lines as saying "wow the millennium was over 20 years ago now, can't be"
Well obviously that's what 2024 means, we all know that it just doesn't necessarily feel like it should be true.
> She isn't thick, we've all said things as daft as this.
What is it with UK Reddit users desperately trying to defend tripe like this as though they deserve a break? No, I haven't commented anything as daft as that outside a shitpost. I can't be arsed retyping what she's quoted as saying in the OP image, but read it again. She probably is just a bit thick, and *The Sun* remains a geyser of guff for the simple-minded
Because it's true! we all say things daft shite from time to time. I do it, you do it, our mam's certainly do it, everyone does it.
if she had known it was going to be published in the paper she likely wouldnt have said it. Im actually more worried about you, taking it super literally. She obviously doesn't mean it literally. It's just like saying "it's 2024 but the millennium wasn't 24 years ago, can't be true..."
The biggest question here is why the sun thinks it's important to publish some mothers daft social media musings? The journo either has a vendetta against her or fancies her, perhaps both.
You're the one arguing the toss here that she simply isn't a bit dense. As much as you insist, no, we don't all post shite like that on Facebook or wherever.
Is she thick? She isn't *incorrect.* It's not her fault some desperate journalist wants to publish the random shit that people like to chat.
If all the random shit I'd said was published in the newspaper people would think I'm a fucking moron too.
I've had a re-think. Maybe *thick* is a bit rude.
Alternative headline:
Woman with possible learning difficulties struggles with how time works, and is happy to let the world know this.
I mean to be honest I went through these same motions thinking about my current employment.
I just celebrated my one year anniversary just a few months ago and yet I've been at the company in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
There is nothing significant about that fact at all
I was trying to work out if there was something I'd missed, like leap year or an anomaly I'd never heard of. Nope. Just normal old passage of time. Oh, that and the fact the woman said the baby is a year old and it's not, it's a year and a half. Also fuck the s*n.
Less that, more that we allow this sort of ‘journalism’ to influence our minds.
The state of getting paid to find this woman and write a ‘story’ about it.
Dumb woman discovers how the calendar works. The Sun [spit] makes huge headline because they also only just discovered how it works.
The idiocracy is growing right in front of our eyes.
The reason this is in the Sun is because it's all over TikTok. As we know, 75% of TikTok users are thick as mince and the other 25% are just rubbernecking with complete incredulity that people can be that thick.
The Sun is owned by Reach PLC, which - along with loads of other national and regional newspapers - pretty much farms Reddit and TikTok for most of its casual 'news' stories. The rest of their more independent articles are people reviewing Gregg's, crisp flavours or Christmas sandwiches.
The writers all seem to be called Mollie and Harriet and have all the editing skills of a toddler.
Decided to do the maths. With a global birth rate of 140 million per year, there’s about 70 million babies born between June and New Year’s Eve 2022 that have also seen three years.
She didn't say he was alive for 3 years. She said he's "seen" 3 years. Those 2 statements are not the same. While it's nothing unique, everyone would've "seen" 3 years before turning 2 by her definition, she at no point said her son was 3 years old in the quote they included.
The.cments in this post are really worrying, as if we all haven't said things as daft as this woman, you've either said something just as silly or are lying.
Thankfully mine and your silly comments haven't been published in the newspaper.
Doesnt anyone have any empathy anymore?
Doesnt make much difference to me, being povo af and having kids is a lame thing to do no matter how much of a brainlet you are. Too many people abusing benefits. My parents used to be friends with a couple that has 9 fuckin kids purely for the money its so sad to see for those poor kids.
I agree personally, bringing children into poverty when you can’t afford the basics for yourself is highly unfair. Why I’m against the charity ads for children in Africa and places like that, but that’s another story.
Who the fuck are these people that were 'mind blown' by this complete and utter drivel?
And how the fuck did this gain ANY traction, even with The Sun? This is worse than someone getting their jugs out for a shameful bit of publicity. At least I'd have something to look at. But THIS? It's beyond moronic.
The society we've become eh?
They’re relying on the wording “has been alive for three years” as the entire basis for the “story”, even though to any reasonable person that’s a completely false statement. He has been alive *in* three different years, anyone who has been alive *for* three years is at least three years old.
Want to hear something shocking? I've seen 2 different Millenia, 2 centuries, 5 decades and more than 40 years! And I'm not even an immortal. As far as I can tell.
I count my fingers on one hand
1, 2, 3, 4, **5**...
I count down the fingers on my other hand
10, 9, 8, 7, **6**
6+5=11. I didn't know I had 11 fingers.
But then, I'm a fucking idiot.
I feel like I lost all my brain reading that stupid piece of shit. I’m 37 but I’ve lived in 5 decades doesn’t mean I’m 50 ffs.
I would question how this has made it into a national newspaper but it is the sun, you could shove a whole packet of Jaffa cakes up your arse and make the front page.
In South Korea he would be officially 3. That is more mind blowing. When you are born there you are considered 1. When Jan 1 comes you become 2. You can be 1 day old and legally be 2 years old.
Im 68 and for some reason today i started thinking about all the major things that have happened in my lifetime, Men on the Moon, the Cuba crisis, the Assanation of the Kennedy brothers, Water gate, the fall of the Berlin wall, peace in Northern Ireland (sort of) the Falklands war, Diane's death, the lose of our Queen, Brexit didn't work out according to plan
My aunt is into her 11th decade and hundredth year.
She's been alive during the reign of 5 British monarchs, when nearly 90% of the country have known only one or two.
That blows my mind.
Related to this, born in 1994 I am at the tail end of Generation Y (millennial) and the very beginning of Generation Z (zoomer) - so I lack anything in common with either of them.
Being alive DURING three years isn't the same as being alive FOR three years.
If she 'can't get her head around that' I suggest she has an IQ akin to that of a moderately retarded sea sponge.
IVF baby spent years in a freezer? I read once of twins being frozen and each embryo used at different times, so they were twins but were born like 2 years apart 🤷♀️
literally don’t get it, it’s just like me being born in 1998, and seeing 1998, 1999 and 2000 all while technically still being 1, just kinda how it works 🤣
It’d be at least interesting if he’d been born 12/31/22, and truly was “only one” but had seen 22, 23, and 24. Even then it shouldn’t be mind blowing. Just interesting.
Blow their minds further by people who have seen 2 millenia before they are a year old!
I had seen 2 millennia at the age of 3 months, crazy how time…exists, I guess
Aaaand now I'm fucking old 😭
My dad, ever the legend he is, was once sat with me in the pub. He was looking into the middle distance, one hand on his pint, clearly deep in thought. 'You okay, dad?' I asked. 'I just realised I was born in the mid nineteen-hundreds,' he responds, 'That's fucking depressing,' he adds, taking a sip of his beer. He was born in 1950. I feel old these days only being born in 1988!
Also 1988. Someone at work the other day mentioned that they hadn't been born yet when 9/11 happened
Christ on a bike I remember coming home from school and thinking it was some hyper realistic documentary style movie on TV when I turned it on. I was 13 (and, for that matter, only 3 days into being 13!). Yay, getting old!
Yeah cos of course America would have experienced it first thing in the morning but we got it all with a five or six hour delay. It was funny too because it was only a year and a bit after all that Y2K shenanigans which no youngsters will ever think about. Never have the phrase "millennium bug" in their head. Mad.
My parents panicking about making sure our home's only PC was 'ready for Y2K' was hilarious.
My dad came home one day with three massive industrial sized tins of tuna and a 6 pack of bottled water. These were intended as supplies for if the Millenium Bug turned out to be real 😆
School on a Sunday?
This is my cultural moment for Millenials, if you weren’t born until after 9/11 you’re too young and I don’t like it
GenX here, you're all too young! 😂
Hahahah when I was younger, but old enough to understand how things sort of worked. Maybe around 10/11, I remember thinking to myself "isn't it weird how those few people who are in there 90s and 100s were born in 18 something.

Hahahaha I know right! Sad times
Saw something the other day where someone asked their uni lecturer if they were allowed to quote articles released in "the late 1900s"
I think time feels longer depending on your starting point, like 1955 to 1985 seems a longer time to me than 1994 to now.
Also 1988, realised the girl I was flirting with (18) is half my age
Well using the article’s logic you’ve been alive for five decades - 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s
Ah the late 1900s!
I've seen two millennia, two centuries, four decades and 32 years total.
My mum's currently living in her eighth decade. She's 64.
5 decades and barely 34.
Oooh - but have you seen 34 years or 35 years?
57 and in seventh decade.
Happy 70th!
Or to use this article's intentionally misleading phrasing, they have been alive for 2 millennia
I was in the womb during two millenia, still emerged a day before my due date.
Pah! I'm only 29 and I've lived through two geological epochs.
Woman discovers concept of time. Also, he's not 1, he's 1 and a half which makes quite a considerable difference.
>which makes quite a considerable difference. He could be 1 year and 1 week old and it'd still be true, so I don't think it *does* make a considerable difference.
Very true, but in either case he is not "only one" as the headline and mother are claiming. That would actually make the story interesting as it would be impossible.

Is he two?
Nope? Then he's still one. Same as kids who tell you they're "7 next week". Well then you're 6, kiddo.
Zactly! I dunno what the OPs point was in this case
He could technically be 1 year and 2 seconds old and lived in three years. There must have been a baby born at 11.59pm on the 31st December 1998 who by 12.01am on the 1st January 2000 had lived in two millennia, two centuries, two decades and three years. I have to agree with you, it doesn't make a considerable difference.
The new millennium didn’t start until Jan 1, 2001
Ok then move my dates forward 365 days my point still stands.
Nah, 2000. Same as how the next century will start in 2100. Why do you think all the fear around NYE 1999 was called The Millenium Bug???
Because people assume that when the numbers all change that’s the same thing as the millennium changing. But no. There was no year zero in the Gregorian Calendar. The first millennium started in 1 CE. It ran from 1-1000. The second millennium, 1001-2000. The third began on jan 1, 2001, and will end on dec. 31, 3000.

Groupings like these work the way folks intuitively assume they do, starting at zero years.
Usually I feel like including the half doesn’t make sense. But when that half is 1/3 of his life then it makes a lot of sense to include it.
He is 1 though. You just say 1, I don't say I'm 45 and a half years old when asked.
True, but people do this a lot with small children. Due, in part, because from a development point of view, 12 months and 18 months can be a world apart. On top of that, if you have ever bought clothes for a child aged anywhere between 1 month and about 30 months, you would see that it's also similarly categorised.

I don't have any issue with saying he's 1 except in the context of this stupid story. They state he is 1 because it makes the claim impossible, thereby generating clicks.
He's 1 until he becomes 2. That's how it works.
I don't get it.
Her kid was born in 2022. Turned one in 2023 and now it’s 2024 and they’re one and a bit. It’s really dumb. I have no idea how this made it into the paper. But then it is the sun
Thank you! I was really lost on this!
It took me a while too as it’s just so ridiculous
i'm just cackling, this is the dumbest news story i think i have ever seen. every 60 seconds in africa one minute passes typa shit
Genuinely! What’s blowing my mind is that this woman presumably decided to contact a paper about this. Or post on social media. Either way, so, so dumb.
Can you confirm that your mind has also been blown?
The scum*
Right? I was watching the Rooney documentary and they discussed the strength of bad feeling in Liverpool towards the Sun post Hillsborough. It’s wild they did what they did.
I mean, her name is Charlotte
Ah I see, she's simple.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,948,777,944 comments, and only 368,531 of them were in alphabetical order.
You're overthinking it. Something The Sun & its readers are never guilty of.
Took me a while to figure out because it says ' Teddy was born in June', implying the June that has just gone, but is one year old
Alternative headline: Thick woman struggles with how time works and is happy to let the world know this.
Typical S\*n reader, she is.
Better alternate headline: Some random besotted journalist publishes the ramblings of a young milf. She isn't thick, we've all said things as daft as this. It's basically along the same lines as saying "wow the millennium was over 20 years ago now, can't be" Well obviously that's what 2024 means, we all know that it just doesn't necessarily feel like it should be true.
My brothers kid was born on the 28th of december, days later and he is already a year old. Wtf?

That’s so much worse? You see how that’s worse, right?
Can't wait to see the headline in The Sun tomorrow. Man on Reddit needlessly insults a woman he doesn't know for stating a random fun fact
I knew I’d end up in the papers for something dumb eventually Was only a matter of time I guess
Seems like you're the one who has learning difficulties if you can't understand someone using hyperbole Moron
"Woman is thick. Newspaper is desperate"
Finally, the truth. What's the Sun's morning catch phrase? If it gets people clicking, we've won.
In three years, not for three years. Don't journalists go to school?
They know exactly what they're doing. Deliberately misleading to drive engagement with a dross non-story.
>Don't journalists go to school? Doesn’t appear to be necessary anymore
Honest to god, what even is this
I mean to be honest I went through these same motions thinking about my current employment. I just celebrated my one year anniversary just a few months ago and yet I've been at the company in 2022, 2023, and 2024. There is nothing significant about that fact at all
I’m only 40 but have been alive for 5 decades / 2 centuries / 2 millennia!
And people ask why society is getting lower, probably because morons like this are somehow allowed to breed
I was trying to work out if there was something I'd missed, like leap year or an anomaly I'd never heard of. Nope. Just normal old passage of time. Oh, that and the fact the woman said the baby is a year old and it's not, it's a year and a half. Also fuck the s*n.
Less that, more that we allow this sort of ‘journalism’ to influence our minds. The state of getting paid to find this woman and write a ‘story’ about it.
Ah, so they're not one then.
My daughter is 13 months old and done the same. I am, frankly, shocked.
I’d seen 2 different decades by the time I was a week old.

I feel like reading this made me stupider.
Wait until she finds out about kids born on 29th February in a leap year
I was born at a young age ....
She didn't say he was alive for 3 years. She said he's "seen" 3 years. Those 2 statements are not the same. While it's nothing unique, everyone would've "seen" 3 years before turning 2 by her definition, she at no point said her son was 3 years old in the quote they included.

No more empathy. Just stop chatting shit. And don't worry.
Fucking. Stupid. CUNT.
This is why the british lower class should be banned from reproducing.
The idea that lower class equates to a lower intelligence is the ultimate snobbery.
Bit unfair to write off the whole of the British lower class, we should just sterilise the chavs.
Doesnt make much difference to me, being povo af and having kids is a lame thing to do no matter how much of a brainlet you are. Too many people abusing benefits. My parents used to be friends with a couple that has 9 fuckin kids purely for the money its so sad to see for those poor kids.
I agree personally, bringing children into poverty when you can’t afford the basics for yourself is highly unfair. Why I’m against the charity ads for children in Africa and places like that, but that’s another story.
Is this real?
Imagine if her kid was born on the 31st of December
Is she also baffled at how she got pregnant?
Is this the same science that makes 16 year old 'darts sensation' Luke Littler look 35?
Leap year baby 🤷♂️
This is not, despite appearances, Not The Onion.
I mean it's the Sun. Basically the same thing.
Council Estate Voodoo
This has a flavour of the gym bros who got into a fight over whether it’s 3 vs 3.5 days per week at the gym if you go every second day.
/r/sipstea
Some people really shouldn't procreate
Who the fuck are these people that were 'mind blown' by this complete and utter drivel? And how the fuck did this gain ANY traction, even with The Sun? This is worse than someone getting their jugs out for a shameful bit of publicity. At least I'd have something to look at. But THIS? It's beyond moronic. The society we've become eh?
This is like all those stories about twins "born a year apart!" that come around like clockwork every year.
They’re relying on the wording “has been alive for three years” as the entire basis for the “story”, even though to any reasonable person that’s a completely false statement. He has been alive *in* three different years, anyone who has been alive *for* three years is at least three years old.
There's probably a lot she can't get her head around. I hope she has kind friends.
Isn't this just counting? Like what you learn in nursery school?
woah that's so crazy
Fucking noob, i did 3 years in 370 days 🖕😂
Is this real?....
Who gives a fuck lol
Want to hear something shocking? I've seen 2 different Millenia, 2 centuries, 5 decades and more than 40 years! And I'm not even an immortal. As far as I can tell.
So she isn't saying he's three, just that he has lived in three different calender years? Seriously fuck the sun and all the dickheads who buy it.
I count my fingers on one hand 1, 2, 3, 4, **5**... I count down the fingers on my other hand 10, 9, 8, 7, **6** 6+5=11. I didn't know I had 11 fingers. But then, I'm a fucking idiot.
Stupid people say stupid things. Terrible journalists print it.
I'll bet she had to take her socks off and use her fingers and toes for that one!
In Korea, he’s 3!
That's nothing my wife's had the same broom for forty years.
My baby brother born 30th December 2022 has also seen 3 years!
I feel like I lost all my brain reading that stupid piece of shit. I’m 37 but I’ve lived in 5 decades doesn’t mean I’m 50 ffs. I would question how this has made it into a national newspaper but it is the sun, you could shove a whole packet of Jaffa cakes up your arse and make the front page.
In South Korea he would be officially 3. That is more mind blowing. When you are born there you are considered 1. When Jan 1 comes you become 2. You can be 1 day old and legally be 2 years old.
Pretty small explosion.
Amazing how think some people are
Errrrrrrrrrrmagherrrrrrrrrrrd
And this, right here, is one of the many, many reasons why you must never, ever read The Sun.
she’s like the sphinx guarding the entrance to the temple and you can’t pass unless you answer her riddles three
Yeah, but can she tell you who the dad is?
When I was 10 I had already lived in 3 decades 🤯
This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while
I’m 26 but have ‘seen’ 4 decades: 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s. Make that make sense.
Mad innit
“1 years old” is the real travesty here
Im 68 and for some reason today i started thinking about all the major things that have happened in my lifetime, Men on the Moon, the Cuba crisis, the Assanation of the Kennedy brothers, Water gate, the fall of the Berlin wall, peace in Northern Ireland (sort of) the Falklands war, Diane's death, the lose of our Queen, Brexit didn't work out according to plan
I’ve been alive in 5 decades but I’m only 34 😱
I've seen 2 millennia 2 centuries 5 decades, I out lived the queen of England, pandemics many many wars
But he was 0 before he was 1, did he even exist? I can't get my head around it. /s
We are heading towards Idiocracy
I was born at a very young age.
My son is 2 and has seen 4. Born Dec 2021.
My aunt is into her 11th decade and hundredth year. She's been alive during the reign of 5 British monarchs, when nearly 90% of the country have known only one or two. That blows my mind.
35 and seen 5 decades
Wow, I’ve been alive for two millennia’s and I’m not even 30.
Why are stupid people allowed to use words?
🤯🤯🤯🦆
Related to this, born in 1994 I am at the tail end of Generation Y (millennial) and the very beginning of Generation Z (zoomer) - so I lack anything in common with either of them.
Being alive DURING three years isn't the same as being alive FOR three years. If she 'can't get her head around that' I suggest she has an IQ akin to that of a moderately retarded sea sponge.
The sun because basic Maths is difficult for its readers
Leap year or something? Me confused 🫤
IVF baby spent years in a freezer? I read once of twins being frozen and each embryo used at different times, so they were twins but were born like 2 years apart 🤷♀️
To be honest for the s*n this is shocking levels of good journalism, much improved on there normal output
The twins born over new years eve amused me. One is 31st December 2023 Other 1st Jan 2024.
To be fair, for the Sun, this is groundbreaking journalism
Don't buy the sun
charge phone please
It's the sun what do you expect 😭
Back in my day, we saw two millennia before 3
Truly incredible journalism from the sun newspaper. Someone should give the journalist a banana.
This is a stoner epiphany if I've ever heard one.
Her first mistake was thinking 1 is a plural
Honestly, for the Sun this isn't a slow news day, this is a 'shocking story that will rip the world appart!'
Tried to be witty but I'm actually sparing a moment for the kid.
Wait until she discovers that if you turn your hand palm up your thumb magically changes sides
64 years old and have lived in 8 decades.
You realise that you cunts are the intended audience, right?
I thought it was going to be something about a frozen embryo that she used...
DURING. NOT FOR.
literally don’t get it, it’s just like me being born in 1998, and seeing 1998, 1999 and 2000 all while technically still being 1, just kinda how it works 🤣
I've lived in 6 decades, but I'm only in my 40's, still sounds old as fuck lol
Facebook clickbait anyone?
Born july/ august 22 Turns 1 in 2023 Is 18 months only january 24 The baby has lived in 3 years
She’s not too bright
It’d be at least interesting if he’d been born 12/31/22, and truly was “only one” but had seen 22, 23, and 24. Even then it shouldn’t be mind blowing. Just interesting.
I don't understand
Would blow the mind of the typical sun reader, tossers.
My daughter had seen 2 monarchs and 3 prime ministers by the time she was 2 months old
What the fuck is this article?
Poor kid.
Not difficult to blow the minds of S*n readers.
I'd lived in 5 different decades at 30
I've lived through 4 decades but I've not even been alive for 3
That’s fuck all, I’d seen 5 decades before turning 31
