Hey, there, youngster. I don't know if you've ever seen this trope in your short life, but Fourth Wall Observers and characters in works with No Fourth Wall have a tendency to assume the viewer/reader/player's age. In Edutainment shows and games, they will assume the viewer/player to be a child. In first-person novels, this can go either way — the narrator might assume the reader to be an adult, or might assume the reader to be a child. Or maybe a teenager. Compare Fake Interactivity and Mistaken Age. Related to Target Audience. This often happens during And Knowing Is Half the Battle scenes. |

Welcome to Pooh Corner: In the special "Too Smart for Strangers", Pooh believes the viewers are children and tells them what to do if they run into a stranger. One of his pieces of advice is to tell an adult, such as a parent. Later, Tigger tells the audience, "Howdy-roo, kids!" and informs Roo that they have to tell the kids about how to stay safe when they're out and about. | |

An episode of Johnny Test did this. Johnny and his talking dog Dukey are trapped in an action movie (through the use of VR helmets created by his genius sisters), and when they realize how the movie's supposed to end (think Thelma & Louise) Dukey screams at Johnny "You couldn't have just stayed home and watched cartoons like normal kids!". Johnny and Dukey then pause and look at the viewer before continuing to panic about getting out of the movie. | |

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: During some "Sonic Sez" segments, Sonic appears to think that the viewers are kids and addresses them as such. An example of this is in "Lovesick Sonic", where Sonic tells the audience that if they're sexually harassed, they have to tell someone they trust, such as their parents or their teachers. | |

Wayside School assumes the reader is an elementary school student like the students in the book. The first book opens with Louis saying that when he told the Wayside students about the reader's school, they thought the reader was the strange and silly one, and indeed, the final chapter of the book has the kids listen to a story about a normal elementary school and call it silly. The third book also claims Todd was sent to "your school" while Wayside was being repaired. | |

In The Little House Cookbook by Barbara M. Walker uses mostly age-neutral language. But in the recipe for green pumpkin pie, it veers sharply into assuming that the aspiring cooks are children, saying that to find an unripe pumpkin if you don't have a garden, "You will need adult cooperation." | |

Family Guy: An exaggerated example in "Brian's a Bad Father". Peter does an Aside Glance and tells the audience, "Oh, you don't know who Joe Pesci is cuz you're fourteen", a nod to the show's popularity among that age group despite usually being described as an adult comedy (the show is rated TV-14, but that's a rating of how suitable it is rather than an indicator of its actual target demographic). | |
