This Seven-Year-Old Gave The Most Morbid Answer To A School Assignment

He's certainly a realist anyway

There’s nothing better than a sassy answer from a smart kid to a question in school, but this latest one is by far the grimmest offering we’ve ever seen.

Reddit user Kaydenmacg posted the hilarious insight into their son’s mind, and it looks like kids can have an existential crisis to rival that of any adult we’ve ever met.

The kid was dropping a serious truth bomb when he was told to draw what he would look like at age 100.

He’s obviously been researching life expectancy statistics, or reading a lot of sad poems.

Kaydenmcg said it made for some awkward moments with staff at the school:

“…Most of the kids drew long hair/beards. My son, coffin. The funny thing was that they hung all of these in the hall outside the classroom and when I went to the school for conferences, I had about 10 teachers and all of the office staff ask if I had seen it yet.”
