Yesterday, some people in the Baby Cloud mother group said something like this: A few days ago, I met an old man taking care of his baby at the gate of the community.
I casually asked how old the child was, and the old man said four years old.
I was really shocked when I heard this answer. Because the child couldn't speak clearly, was small, and even wore briefs.
I was confused at that time, and I asked people directly, "Is the child premature , or has something wrong with his body? He feels weird, he is too short."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "We are all full-term babies, so there is no problem. We are only two years old, and our mouth is still a bit stupid, and we can't speak very well."
After hearing this, I was so embarrassed that I hurriedly stated that I had no other meaning and told others not to take it to heart.
Well, people are saying that is false age, is age, or is it age? I just really feel that it’s useless to say you have a false age, and it can easily be misunderstood.
As usual, friends in the group took the initiative to express their opinions:
"When I first applied for household registration, my grandmother gave me a false age. As a result, even the age on my ID card is three years older. I have always had a low self-esteem when I was studying or working, and I felt that I was older than others. The only benefit is the early retirement policy."
"My daughter is only six years old, and my mother always likes to say she is eight years old, which makes the neighbor next door ask her if she doesn't want to go to school even if she is eight years old.
My child was born in mid-to-late October according to the lunar calendar, and my mother-in-law said she was two years old just after the Chinese New Year. I said it has not been 100 days, but where does the 2-year-old come from? I am very disgusted. My mother-in-law always uses false ages, and is particularly paranoid about this matter. My child She was only seven years old, and once she actually thought that my son was not sensible even though he was ten years old...
It can be seen that at present, some people still habitually use false age in their daily life.
And why does the virtual age, which many people find distressing nowadays, exist?
In ancient times, virtual age was the only way to count age. At that time, government household registration and archive materials only recorded people's birth years, not counting the month and day of birth.
A person is counted as one year old when he is born, and every new year after that, he will be one year older. Therefore, it is easy for such a situation to make people laugh or cry.
those coming out in December The baby was born, sometimes only a few hours after birth. But after the new year, he will be called 2 years old immediately.
But this method of calculating age actually exists in South Korea. The children there are all 1 year old on the day they are born, and will be one year older on January 1 of the next year.
Although this is a traditional method, when people ask how old a child is, it can be easily misunderstood if they say false age.
For example, when taking a child for medical treatment, the doctor will generally ask the child's age. One is because some diseases are very common in a certain age group, and the other is because children of different ages have different dosage requirements for drugs. If the age is false , will definitely affect the patient’s judgment and prescription.
In addition, when you accidentally disappear or are abducted by human traffickers, if your family members express your age when asking for help, it will deceive everyone to a certain extent, which will affect the progress of the search.
Of course, when your child reaches the age of a blind date, when you tell the matchmaker your child's age, don't always say your age is false. After all, there is a big difference between 26 years old and 28 years old. Sometimes when the child is two or three years old, he immediately becomes a single man or an older leftover woman.
