Abrianna says people sometimes think she is as young as nine
‘People sometimes think I’m nine years old – but I have a baby’
A woman says she is constantly mistaken for a child due to her youthful looks – despite being a mother. As a fresh-faced young woman standing tall at only 4’11, and weighing just 78lbs, Abrianna Eison says people often assume she is as young as nine years old.
In a TikTok that went viral, garnering 18 million views, she filmed herself at a restaurant being served a children’s drink – despite having her baby in tow. She joked: “Why is this still happening? I don’t know what to do to appear older – I thought having a baby would help!”
She said: “People mistake me for way younger than I am on a daily basis. They normally assume I’m anywhere from 15-18. They’re also so shocked and tell me that I’m no bigger than a bug bite!”
Even welcoming her first child six months ago, daughter Selah Mae, Abrianna is still routinely thought to be a decade younger than she is. She said: “I don’t really mind it anymore because it’s been like that my entire life, even when I was a kid.
“I [used to] get so mad when people would think I was anywhere younger than I was. One time, I was visiting a church with classes you [could go] to – I was heading to the adult class and some old man stopped me and pointed me in the direction of the pre-teen class.”
The TikTok clip garnered more than two million likes, with one user commenting: “Oh girl, I thought you were between 9-12, sorry queen.”
“13 going on 30 in real life,” another viewer wrote. Someone else added: “They definitely thought that that’s your sibling and not your child.”
“I would’ve handed you a box of crayons. I’m so sorry,” commented another viewer. Another user wrote: “I would never guess you were over 18.”
“You’re 26? ARE YOU SURE?” someone else added.
