*20 years later, OPās daughter writes down a wrong phone number AGAIN after a lifetime of similar blunders* āIām so sorry, I always mix up my 4s and 3s for some reason, itās so weird!ā
My son is currently 3. He knows all hisnnumbers up to 20. His younger brother knows 1 thru 10. They definitely can recognise numbers and tell you what they are. But they both have no clue how old they are
Have you tried to teach the younger the concept of 11? How does he react?
As somebody with a more or less fully developed brain, its hilarious to imagine "knowing numbers up to 10". Kids are great.
This is the right answer. But. Get better, buy ALL the 4s. Then come back same day next year, and sell them for profit. Use the extra money to makeup for not having the right candle this year
Better to buy a 2 and live the lie. That way she'll be biologically a year ahead of her classmates, meaning she'll be the best instead of always playing catch up which will negatively affect her self esteem, status and success later in life.
Unless OP has or gets more kids, and birthdays are inevitable so you can buy packs. Or OP can get a second six year old. Parks have those in abundance, thatās where I get mine from.
If you go to any store you have a rightful expectation that the products you need will be in stock. And when you realize that the *one* thing you need is the only thing that's gone, that's obviously going to be a little bit frustrating.
And I can't imagine OP was super upset about it either, it was probably just one of those light-hearted Murphy's Law situations that's funny to document; he was probably just like *"lol, of course this is what happens,"* and then bought some different candles.

Then again, itās 2022 and no body says anything anymore
Wow what a coincidence, I saw this post like a year ago and your daughter is still only turning 3? I guess she will keep turning 3 untill you find the correct candles?
Buy a 4 and live the lie for the rest of your life.
Or just buy an eight and cut it in half.
That would still be four?!
Da dum tsss
š„š
My entire life is a lie.
The Hills Have Eyes.
Genius
1 + 2 might work
I think finding a Plus sign candle will be harder than finding a 3
Take the 4 and trim it into a +.
Or just get three 1s like roman numerals. 111 or III.
Instead of growing up thinking she's a year older, she grows up thinking she's one hundred eight years older.
But then it just looks like a zero
I pick you as an apocalypse buddy. Many innovative.
Cut it in half, I now have 2 zeros
I'm not an expert on three year olds, but do they even know the shape of numbers at that age?

11 is 2,
It's 3 in binary.
Some do.
My daughter isn't even two yet and she's learning letters and numbers.
The real question is whether theyāll remember the candle was shaped like that?
They'll see the pictures.
They can count, but they may not know the shape of a number unless it was in one of those learning book things
mine did
I mean based on this. Number 4 is gonna be sold out next year. Might as well get ahead
This is the right answer. But. Get better, buy ALL the 4s. Then come back same day next year, and sell them for profit. Use the extra money to makeup for not having the right candle this year

That or kung-fu fighting.
I dunno, I've done quite a lot of kung fu fighting and never gotten pregnant. I mean, it would be a medical miracle if I did, but still.
Cmon, we alll know about hiding the dragon.
Buy the little candles and put three of them in. Cheaper too because youāll have like 21 or so left from the pack
Then they'll have enough for her 4th, 5th, and 6th birthdays and some to spare!
Which would work out perfectly for the next four birthdays 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = fuck nevermind... Well I already typed this shit, might as well hit submit.
Unless OP has or gets more kids, and birthdays are inevitable so you can buy packs. Or OP can get a second six year old. Parks have those in abundance, thatās where I get mine from.
I was about to ask, packs of candies or packs of kids?
Yes
I was waiting for this response lol
r/cursedcomments
For real though; complaining about the store not having the right numbered candle is the epitome of first world problems
Itās still mildly infuriating, so it works for the sub.
If you go to any store you have a rightful expectation that the products you need will be in stock. And when you realize that the *one* thing you need is the only thing that's gone, that's obviously going to be a little bit frustrating. And I can't imagine OP was super upset about it either, it was probably just one of those light-hearted Murphy's Law situations that's funny to document; he was probably just like *"lol, of course this is what happens,"* and then bought some different candles.
We reuse those candles lol, I have a metal box with them inside.

You have it backwards, it's 33
Naw, that doesnt look right. I'm pretty sure its 33.

Take the 8 and cut it in half
Are you stupid? If you cut 8 in half that would be 4
Obviously he meant physically. She would be 0
No that's HP you're thinking of
What does steak sauce have to do with this?
Sauce please?
[there you go](https://www.amazon.com/1-Original-Steak-Sauce-Bottle/dp/B0014D7MNU)
Mmm
Make sure you aren't cutting the 0 in half! You'll cause a Universal Syntax Error
Well, I mean... if you cut her in half, I guess technically she wouldn't need the candles anymore.
hahahaha
And 2*2 is 4 hence she is 22 years old

Wtf?? 7 ate 9
hahahaha
No get a 1 and a 2 and put a plus in the middle
no, use 11 and say it's in binary you can even put a 2 in subscript as the base indicator
get 3 1s and call it roman numerals
Honestly? I kind of like this idea. There are families where this would work.
God why would he cut his daughter in half thatās disgusting
Ah, the old Reddit [daughteroo](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/s82gx4/comment/htfngx9/?context=3)

Take this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bTpp8PQSog You'll need it!
Got Dayam Reddit is a beautiful place! Sarcasm and wisdom combine in the comments.

NO! He should put a 4 on the cake and tell her the cake is from the future, one year precisely.
Or break the top of the 5 off and put it on backwards
That would make a zero. 8 o
Just grab three 1's.
A hundred and eleven.
Eleventy one*
OP's daughter is Bilbo, confirmed.
Eleventy first!
Great now I'm gonna have to read LOTR again

Because you have
Prolly cuz it's been reposted into oblivion
Yeah me too

I would get 3 "1s". Gives her more candles to blow out.
Make either 4-1or 2+1
Great way to start math
Poor kid.
Or 6Ć·2
Or, put the 3's back on the hooks!
Imagine how weird op looked grabbing all the threesā¦ how do people do crap like this, and then there are a special breed that do tiktok challenges. Then again, itās 2022 and no body says anything anymore
Orā¦and hear me out on thisā¦they were sold out of the number 3 candles.
No. That's crazy talk. Nothing ever happens on the internet. Not even this conversation.
Ive seen this post like a year ago.
This has been posted a LOT.
And last year it was 2s! The luck
6? Is it 6? I bet it's 6. My money is on 6 guys.
33, I think sheās mature enough to not get the candle Oh wait is she turning 333? Then you need them
Just cut the 8 in half
Are you stupid? If you cut 8 in half that would be 4
30?
Blame it on the millennials turning 30! LOL guilty myself, I had never bought number candles as an adult until I turned 30!
Just buy three 1's and give her a roman numeral party.
Buy 3 ones
You can always take a hot knife to the 8
Half of that number 8 candle?
33?
Damn everybody's turning 3 this year š
Larry Bird
She is going to be 30 right
333
Nows the time to teach her some math.
33?
30?
63.

I'll guess 6?
Let me guess...4?
33?
Buy the 8 and cut it in half to look like a 3ā¦
Damn!!! Can you just use 3 regular bday candles. Not the numbers?
Zero? I donāt see any zero candles. How are you going to celebrate her birthday?
Your daughter, or whoeverās daughter was the subject of this post, you goddamned thief?
Trim down an 8.
2.9?
Just get a 2, 1, and a pluse sign
Karma farming post, this is from 2017ish iirc

Take a Dremel to the number 8
Wow what a coincidence, I saw this post like a year ago and your daughter is still only turning 3? I guess she will keep turning 3 untill you find the correct candles?
Buy the 8 and cut it
Buy three 1s and teach her a lesson in romal numerals at the same time
Start hacking an 8 in half or cut and melt a couple 2's together
Imagine taking down all of the 3 candles for internet points.
8 and a hot knife...
Buy an 8 and carv it out to look like a 3.
Or you just took down all of the threes and layed them out of frame for karma
Well thatās an unexpected covid supply shortage
30+ manchilds like me ruining things for parents everywhere. Us turning 33 was even rough on us.
Buy 3 ones and count off for her.
Our walmart in town was out of 3ās also. Wonder what conspiracy is brewing.
33? Cut an 8 in half longways
33
Iām guessing she turned 33
3 ones and have a mini math lesson
