    I’m the other way around. Only people born before the year 2000 can be adults. Everyone born afterwards is permanently a child and shouldn’t be left alone without a babysitter.

      I actually struggle with the same mental image. Anybody born after 2000 still goes to school in my mind.

      I can’t describe the reaction I always have inside when I consciously realize that post-2000 kids can actually be adults. Not just because I realize how screwed my perception of time is but also because I suddenly feel old.

      I’m in a similar boat: everyone under the age of 18 is a tiny baby and shouldn’t be out of the house yet.
