This 100-year-old woman was probably born in 2011

A true old soul.

This five-year-old girl has an old soul. A very, very old soul.

To celebrate her 100th day of school, Redditor burphammie's daughter decided to go the most creative route possible — dressing like a 100-year-old woman.

Her getup is pretty convincing. In fact, one commenter noted that "if it weren't for the hands, I wouldn't believe this was a 5-year-old."

We hope this girl's classmates were a little more astute.

In any event, the takeaway here is clear: next time you're celebrating a 100th anniversary of any kind, consider renting a costume wig, donning a fine set of pearls and digging that animal-print scarf out of your closet. 

You'll give your friends a sight they'll remember for at least a century.
