* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' had an unusual example. Waternoose finds Boo and asks if she is Sully and Mike's. They both say no, hiding her with the fact that she's Sully's "[[RelativelyFlimsyExcuse cousin's sister's daughter]]", instead.

** Another [[http://notalwaysright.com/shaming-special-on-the-pre-wedding-aisle/ kid shaming attempt]] here, but an employee intervenes and allows the accused to set the whole record straight. Amusingly, the employee was only expecting something along the lines of "none of your business".

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{the Venture Brothers}} episode "[[Recap/TheVentureBrosS1E6GhostsOfTheSargasso Ghosts of the Sargasso]]," the Pirate Captain assumes Brock is Dean's father. Confusion ensues when Dean mentions Brock (referring to him as "my dad's bodyguard").
--->'''Pirate Captain:''' Your dad has a bodyguard? Why would the guy need a bodyguard? The guy's a tank.

* ''Webcomic/LittleJolyneGoesToMorioh'': Twice in the story people ask [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke Higashikata]] if the 7-years-old girl he's watching over, Jolyne Kujo, is his secret love child. Jolyne is actually Josuke's great-niece[[note]]Jolyne is Jotaro Kujo's daughter, who is Josuke's nephew since Josuke's father is Jotaro's grandfather[[/note]].
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38530060/ Avengers: Darkness in Kingdom Hearts]]'' sees Spider-Man and Scarlet Witch sent travelling through various Disney realities acting as guardian to a young Sora when a malfunction in Kang the Conqueror's equipment allows Sora's future enemy to try and attack him in the past. As they explore these new worlds, not only do the various characters they meet assume that Peter and Wanda are Sora's parents, but when the Avengers, Doctor Strange, and the Brotherhood of Mutants manage to catch a glimpse of Wanda, Sora's age and the time since Magneto last spoke with his daughter cause him to speculate that Wanda left to conceal a pregnancy.

* ''Webcomic/LittleJolyneGoesToMorioh'': Twice in the story people ask [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Josuke Higashikata]] if the 7-years-old girl he's Watchung over, Jolyne Kujo, is his secret love child.

* Celine from ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' is an [[PlantAliens alien plant]] that eventually turns into a [[HumanAlien humanlike]] toddler. She's occasionally mistaken to be Rito's daughter and whatever girl he's with as the mother. Though Celine's essentially ''is'' Rito's [[HappilyAdopted adopted]] child, even calling him "papa" and his sister Mikan "mama".

* In ''Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy2019'', Klaus and Diego were mistaken for [[HasTwoMommies the dads]] of their brother Five, who is mentally much older than them [[OlderThanTheyLook but looks much younger]] due to TimeTravel issues. Naturally, [[HairTriggerTemper Five]] responds with his characteristic tact.

* ''Webcomic/SunnySideSkies'': Because Adam is his [[PracticallyDifferentGenerations much younger brother]] Seth's only guardian and they look almost identical, when he first meets Seth's teacher, she believes they're father and son instead of brothers. When Chase shows up, she assumes he's Seth's ''[[HasTwoDaddies other]]'' dad. Because she never voices this out loud, they don't get a chance to correct her.

* ''LightNovel/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'': In season 2, when Chiho arrives at [=McRonalds=] with Alas Ramus during Maou's shift, their co-workers think that Alas is Maou's and Chiho's child (in actuality, while Alas see's Maou as her father, she sees Emi as her mother). Their manager [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Mayumi]] brings up this trope to the duo, pointing out how society will often jump to conclusions and rumors will spread fast, especially since Chiho is a teenager and Maou is a grown adult.
* ''LightNovel/{{Haganai}}'': During a live show on their visit to a theme park, both Kodaka and Sena are mistaken to be the parents of Kotaka's sister, Kobato, which flusters Sena to no end.

* Possibly a variation: In ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh'' a young girl shows up claiming to be Yuuri's daughter, and his [[AccidentalMarriage fiance]] [[{{Tsundere}} Wolfram]] flips out, thinking that Yuuri has "cheated" on him...without considering the fact that Yuuri is ''15'', and the girl is about 8.

* Happens several times in ''LightNovel/KokoroConnect'' after [[spoiler: one of Heartseed's associates causes the group to de-age at increasingly random times.]]

* More or less inverted in ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': the Cullen parents always present the teen vampires as their adopted children, because the ages wouldn't fit. Then Bella and Edward pretend they adopted Renesmee, because even assuming Bella and Edward had a shotgun wedding, [[ExpressDelivery it's impossible for Nessie to have been born so soon when the pregnancy was not visible at the wedding]].

* In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', Dean is Sam's older brother, but after a run-in with a witch in Season 10, [[FountainOfYouth he's de-aged to fourteen]]. Thus, after he helps an elderly lady with her keys, she tells Sam "your son is so polite".

May be combined with SheIsNotMyGirlfriend. Contrast FamilyRelationshipSwitcheroo, where someone pretends their child is a younger sibling or other relative.

'''Mamoru:''' No. [[InnocentInnuendo They are my future wife and daughter]].

* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': One of the comic's [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=273 running]] [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2335 gags]] is people who know Antimony's mother, Surma, assuming that James Eglamore is her father and reacting with varying levels of surprise and disbelief when they find out her true parentage.

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', mortals sometimes pose this question to Rangiku Matsumoto concerning Toshiro Hitsugaya, the subversion being that not only is Hitsugaya Matsumoto's superior, they're ''both'' ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. On the other hand, Hitsugaya is canonically a child prodigy, and very young for a shinigami. It's easily possibly that Matsumoto is several times his age. The fact that he's her boss, and the more responsible of the two still stands, though.
