How Old Was Tip In Home

So, there I was, scrolling through Netflix the other night, and I stumbled upon Home, that adorable little animated flick about an alien named Oh. Now, I've seen it a few times before, but this time, something struck me. I mean, really struck me. How old was Tip, the human girl who becomes Oh's bestie?

I know, I know, it's not the most pressing question in the universe. But bear with me, folks. I've got a thing for details, and this one's been bugging me.

Let's break it down

First off, let's establish that Home is set in a world that's not too far from our own. It's present-day Earth, but with a dash of alien invasion for good measure. Now, Tip, our heroine, is a pre-teen. She's old enough to have a smartphone and a sense of independence, but young enough to still believe in the magic of space adventures.

But here's where it gets tricky. In the film, Tip's mom, Lucy, is a scientist working on a project that involves alien technology. Now, Lucy looks to be in her late 30s, maybe early 40s. If we assume she had Tip when she was in her late teens or early 20s (which is pretty typical), that would make Tip around 12 or 13.

Wait, what about the cat?

Oh, you thought I forgot about Pig, Tip's pet cat? Well, I didn't. You see, cats age faster than humans. So, if Pig is as old as he looks (which is, like, ancient), that might suggest Tip is older than we initially thought. But then again, cats can look old and still be relatively young, right? It's all so confusing!

So, how old is Tip?

Alright, let's try to wrap this up. Based on the info we have, Tip is probably around 12 or 13 years old. But remember, this is all just speculation. The filmmakers could've thrown us a curveball, and Tip could be, I don't know, 25 and just really short for her age.

But hey, who cares? The real magic of Home isn't in Tip's age. It's in the friendship between her and Oh, the message about acceptance, and the hilarious cat jokes. So, next time you watch Home, enjoy the show. And if you happen to figure out Tip's age, drop me a line. I'm still curious!
