Adults:
People can get offended if they seem older that what they are, pleased if they seem younger that what they are and surprised if someone guesses their correct age.
Teenagers:
Pleased when appear a bit older that actual age, a bit insulted when seem younger and just nonchalant about looking their age.

Kids are the most adorable people though: I still remember how birthday's were such a big deal as a kid. You had to have your birthday party with your decorate invitations, passing them out to your friends, wearing your favorite outfit, hosting it in McDonalds or some playground, having friends come over and then blowing the candles, ecstatic by the fact that the number of candles increased each year. Opening presents to receive dolls and stickers, and getting offended if you weren't invited to someone's party. Oh the old times. It was a blast being a kid.

| and let's not forget the hat |
Big birthday's seem to be: 10 (personally) since it's the first DOUBLE digit age you enter, 13 (since many consider it to be the age when you become a teenager, 16 (somehow promoted by media, since it doesn't bring you that many rights around here except better chances at a summer job, other than in America where you Sweet Sixteen gave you the ability to drive, plus the known MTV show), 18 (ADULTHOOD), etc.
Remembering someone on their birthday is very thoughtful and also I love the honest, happy faces people have when you wish them happy birthday or give them a gift. Also, it IS the thought that counts, so people do take things to heart, and the littlest thing can make someone else really happy :)
