Happens all the time.

If voters are this stupid, there is little hope.
Is he also a prince?
And I’d have got away with it if it weren’t for you meddling adults!
Looks like Clint Howard playing Balok in Star Trek, the Original Series...
In my day, 21 was the age everyone claimed to be.
In other news, 99% of U.S. democrats have been found to have brain development of a turnip.
Yep.
My Mom was 19 when I was born.
I was told in an email that he’s my relative and that I inherited a lot of money.
I just need to give some personal and financial information, to get it.
As authentic as Kenyan birth certificates !
Apparently he does suffer from a form of hereditary dwarfism. Which makes him look a lot younger than his actual 15 year old age.
Beat me to it. I need to get up earlier in the morning!
