Silly me... Of course Toriel would call us her child.. Taking care of fallen humans as if they were her children is her thing.

Burgerpants calls us "little buddy", but this could just mean that monsters are naturally larger than humans...

Sans also calls us "kid". Remember this quote? "thanks, kid. here's your hot dog."

Sans.

However, their.. flirting does put things into question.

Could it be that Frisk has gone through many runs before? Used their reset ability well before we see them? The only explanation I seem to have with their child body and flirting attitude is that they've had more years of experience, without actually aging, which only makes sense if those years were years that were erased by a reset or a load.

...Where's our Franklin Badge, by the way? MatPat would say that the Franklin Badge is in the little lab behind Sans' house.

Toriel is several hundred years old, most people would seem like children to her. And after losing Asriel her paternal nature might be in overdrive.

Granted, Frisk might still be relatively young. But certainly older than Ness in Earthbound. Many adventures would have happened between the end of the Mother games and Undertale.

While traveling *forward* in time might not split a timeline like traveling backwards in the timestream might, allowing Sans to fast-forward things if he wanted to, Sans has serious battle scars, and his mental age has greatly exceeded his physical one. Someone green like his earlier self that existed Before IT Happened would certainly seem like a kid to him.

Most humans in Earthbound also share a similar scale, regardless of age. So Frisk's size might not be a perfect indicator of age.

And Frisk probably has done many, many runs before. He's wearing a bandage that's already been used many, many times, even on the first ever run of Undertale.
