An 8-year-old boy had the most dramatic reaction to realizing just how hard it is to be an adult — and we are living for it. In a post to Imgur, the unnamed boy can be seen with his head down on the table [2], a mostly eaten adult-size personal pizza sitting in ruins in front of him.

On the photo, his parent, Imgur user Cindy21, wrote: "My 8-year-old just realized that ordering an adult meal means he doesn't get the free ice cream that comes with the kids' meals. Welcome to the real world [3], kid."

Yes, kiddo, welcome. (But should we tell him now that a perk to being an adult means you can eat ice cream whenever you want? Too soon? OK.)
