Kristen Bell Just Asked Her Kids To Guess How Old She's Turning—And Their Answers Are Hilariously Brutal

It is considered impolite to ask a woman's age.
But chivalry didn't apply when Kristen Bell was the one who did the asking.
The Good Place actress just turned 39 and indulged in a guessing game with her two young daughters, Lincoln, 6, and Delta, 4, whom she shares with her husband, actor Dax Shepard.
She asked for it.
Bell filmed herself asking her girls:
"How old do you think I'm turning?"
The girls, who are obviously too young to comprehend the concept of time, answered with as much accuracy as other kids their age.
Nevertheless, their guess-timations felt like tiny daggers in mommy's loving heart, as evidenced by her facial reactions.
Delta, who is off-camera with her sister, thought long and hard.
"Six … fifty …," she said, verbalizing her thought process before arriving at her final answer:
"63."
Bell turned the question over to her eldest:
"How old do you think I'm turning, Link?"
After a prolonged pause, she declared:
"89."
How cute is that?

Making sure everyone had an equal guessing opportunity, Bell turned to Shepard, 44, and asked the same question.
The Without a Paddle actor diplomatically answered:
"I think a safe bet, somewhere in the middle of those two guesses, so … 71?"
Through giggles, Bell finally revealed to them she is 39.
She shared the video on Instagram where it got over 2,460,000 views.
She captioned her post:
"My kids are kind. I don't care if they cant do math."
Followers were charmed by the hilarious family interaction and also commented on her age-defying looks.

Shepard gave a special birthday shout-out to his wife on his Instagram page by sharing a video of the pair putting their sensitive palates through their paces with some overly spicy foods and burping and moaning through the painful process.
He captioned the post with:
"Happy Birthday Buddy!!! I've been with you on a third of your ride, and I hope I'm lucky enough to burp/throw-up/suffer/thrive with you for all the rest."
He added:
"Best Mom, best wife, best friend, longest story teller. You're everything to me and more."
After dating for six years the couple delayed tying the knot until the state of California legalized same-sex marriage.
The Supreme Court ruled section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional on June 26, 2013, prompting Bell to propose to Shepard on Twitter, to which he said, "yes." The pair married on October 16, 2013.
They welcomed Lincoln into the world in March 2013, followed by Delta in December 2014.
Happy birthday Kristen!
You don't look a day over 12.
Most people became familiar with Kristen Bell thanks to Veronica Mars. You can get the complete series and the movie here.
Dax Shepard recently went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to celebrate his birthday.
While he was there, his wife, Kristen Bell, visited and the pair's love is so strong that it made them both cry.
Shepard sat down with Ellen to discuss his show The Ranch.
On the show, he works with his buddy, Ashton Kutcher, which he says is "about as fun as it gets".
He went on to describe the experience as "really sweet" since Kutcher kick-started Dax's career with Punk'd.
Ellen also set Dax up for a round of "Ask Dr. Dax" — a session where guests can ask Shepard relationship questions.

After discussing one woman's plight of disliking her husband's favorite sex position, his wife made a surprise appearance to ask him her own question.
Kristen Bell, currently starring on The Good Place, asked him:
"What would you recommend getting someone very special, like a spouse, for their birthday? Or how would you spoil them on their birthday?"
Shepard responded:
"In the bedroom."
After a laugh, Bell cheekily said:
"Let's say I have 'in the bedroom' covered."
She went on to give him a wink and specified she wanted "out of the bedroom" advice.
Dax's response to his wife was the sweetest imaginable.
"I would say please, please, please give that person love and support for 11 years. Give them two beautiful baby girls, and you're good."
As he listed the wonderful things his wife had given him over the years, tears came to his eyes.
Bell wasn't immune to the tears either and she called him out for his emotion saying:
"You're crying, too!
The internet is also overcome with emotion for this amazing couple.
