This is one of those things that’s obvious once you think about it.  Obvious AND depressing . . .

People in Shreveport on TikTok are freaking out after realizing they’ve been calculating their birthday wrong.  You might actually be OLDER than you think.

An influencer posted a five-second video about it last week that’s racked up millions of views.

It basically boils down to this:  When you turn a certain age, you’re not actually STARTING that age, you’re FINISHING it.

For example, if you just turned 39, it means you’ve finished your 39th year . . . and you’re currently in year FORTY.

Again, it’s obvious when you think about it.  But it’s rocking people’s worlds, and now we’re all depressed.
