There's nothing quite as engaging as watching kids explore the vast, complex world. They have begun meeting new people, associating with different children and grown-ups, and learning how social gestures and standards work from a young age.

That is the point where things might get a little bit confusing for the little kids. It can be hard for a kid to get a stranger’s name right, and this depends on the particular child and the name’s complexity. 

A writer and mom named Brianne M. Kohl took to the Twitter platform to talk about her 8-year-old daughter who met a girl at a camp named "Internet," and how the little girl has been adamant about it even though her mom doubted it. For nearly a year, they’ve been having this conversation, and it ends up that the name of that girl was actually "Antoinette."

The Twitter thread promptly attracted a lot of attention, with many parents having similar encounters with their children getting names so wrong. Adults also had to jump in, and they had a fun time sharing times when they humiliated themselves by becoming confused with the names of different individuals.

So we’ve chosen 35 of the most hilariously commendable tweets that prove that getting a name irrationally wrong is obviously a typical event in the world of kids.

This is where it all began...

It’s no mystery that teachers and parents mix up children's names all the time as so many people could relate to her story. And they didn't waste a second to share theirs too.

Little kids can't shape a few sounds, so they end up calling individuals by a simpler name. Kids need repetition to store names in their memory, so until a stranger turns into a friend, it very well may be hard to remember their names, except if they have an astonishing memory.
