As people celebrate their birthdays, many wish they could hold on to their youth. One man joyfully celebrated his special day, claiming he turned 34. However, someone quickly burst his bubble to show his true age.

The numbers don't lie

TikTokker Bongani Mahlangu recently shared a video showing app users that he celebrated his birthday and spoiled himself with a small cake. Although, the original age, 34, on the cake wasn't correct.

"It was supposed to be 53. The store ran out of numbers."

After watching the clip, @teboho.motaung3107 commented:

"I thought as much. That age did not match. Even this 43 is doubtful."

@user42976607434916, who felt the man was being truthful about being 43, wrote with a laugh:

"Thanks for correcting the mistake. My heart nearly stopped. I couldn't hold my shock."

@joe.riba said in the comment section:

"That '4' was supposed to be '5.'"

@malusi.khumalo1 humorously stated to the public:

"No wonder my uncle always says he's 30-something. After turning 35, we quit counting."
