The baby is now an old lady, so says this photo.
A photo of a toddler looking way older than her age has made the rounds on social media, thanks to the efforts of her aunt Sammy.
"The girl, whose name appears to be Roey, was made up by her aunt Samantha Parsons, of Ohio, who Tweeted out the pictures on Tuesday," MailOnline said.
Parsons was babysitting her niece one day and, when the 3-year-old saw her aunt put on mascara, she asked to have her face made up too. Apparently, to surprising results.
"In the pictures Roey has thick, dark eyebrows, a seemingly wrinkly forehead and her cheekbones contoured to look sunken in," the British publication observed.
Despite this, it appeared the kid enjoyed her old lady look, even making faces to the camera to complement the make up.
"The makeup is so spot-on that the little girl could probably pass for a grandmother if she put on a head scarf and some orthopedic shoes," Mashable pointed out.
Maybe Roey should do that look for Halloween later this year, complete with cane and a pet cat.
"The original post has since been retweeted 27,000 times and has 36,000 likes, and copycat posts have had retweets as high as 18,000 with 40,000 likes," MailOnline said. "Twitter users have expressed their amazement with the aged toddler's look, and many have made their own comparisons to Snow White's witch, Pennsatucky from the Netflix series 'Orange is the New Black' and a baby Grinch."
One user noted she will do a similar makeup on her daughter once she wants to look grown in elementary school. Another mentioned the aged toddler looked like her future self.
Meanwhile, the child's aunt is incredulous over the photo's now viral status. No word yet on the reactions of Roey's parents.
On another note, there have been real-life cases of children looking older than their age, as well as adults looking like children, due to a biological condition.
One such example of the former is 15-year-old Harry Crowther from England. He has progeria, which is a genetic disease that makes him look like an old man of 75. He's only one of two people in the world who has the abnormal form of the condition.
"My family are great and they don't let me get down," he was quoted by New York Daily News as saying. "I could spend my life wondering, 'Why me?.' But what's the point? There's nothing I can do about it apart from look forward to the future and make sure I enjoy every day and learn new things."
Ashanti Elliot-Smith is another example. She's a 10-year-old girl who looks 70-something.
"My mummy says I am different like everyone else is different," she said. "If anyone stares at me I just poke my tongue out and smile."
