Or maybe this is about how they actually are perceiving environment. Maybe they ignores appearance and focuses on behavior and soul only. This could explain why non of them asked Frisk about his name/gender/age. And this should be important while you are saving someone's ass against frenzied flower or trying to kill/befriend/date/hang out him.

Or maybe they KNOW with who they are currently dealing with. They are calling Frisk child/kid but for them it simply means childish regardless of age.

Please tell me if something is unclear because my english is quite bed. Well, I actually mentioned that after a long time sealed in Underground, Toriel and Asgore could have forgoten about human traditions. I know it's far-fetched, but it was mentioned in the Wiki, that most of the Monsterkind didn't even recognised Frisk as a human (an example - Female rabbit in Snowdin), so that has some possibility.

Also, that soul stuff is pretty interesting theory too, I can imagine it to be aplied to Papyrus (but in my headcanon, he's still a teen, lol)
