There’s nothing as entertaining as watching kids navigate through the big complex world. From an early age, they start meeting new people, socializing with other kids and adults, learning how the social cues and norms work in practice.
That’s where things may get a teeny tiny bit confusing for the little ones. “My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named 'Internet.' I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant,” tweeted writer and mom Brianne M. Kohl and added that “For almost a year we've been having this discussion.”
Turns out, the name of that girl from the summer camp was “Antoinette.” The thread immediately blew up on Twitter with many parents sharing similar experiences about their kids getting the names totally wrong. Even adults joined in the fun and shared times they embarrassed themselves by getting confused by people's names.
Below we selected some of the most chuckle-worthy tweets that prove getting a name absurdly wrong is apparently a common occurrence in the children's kingdom.
