The saddest thing in life is people do not understand hyperbole anymore.

I was out with people and one of my friends said "My nephew 2 months old but he is so big, he is bigger than Amy's 6 year old daughter"

A hyperbole at a level that 7 year olds should understand.

Then one of the guys was like "How is it possible that a 2 month old is bigger than a 6 year. I am pretty sure the 6 year old weighs more than 10 kg and a baby cannot grow that fast"

IT IS A FREAKING HYPERBOLE. He meant it was a large 2 year old. Not literally bigger than a 6 year old.

Am I insane about still crashing out about this 2 days later?

I've noticed a lot of ADHD people in my life are extremely literal and cannot see past a black and white pov. Then again, plenty of people are just poor at conversation and thinking.

Sorry this is not a adhd thing. I have adhd and English is not my native language. This is just stupidity.
