A video of a 10-year-old girl attempting to open a CD case but failing has sparked discussions on TikTok. A woman recorded her daughter, Tegan, as she tried to open the CD case, showcasing her struggles in the viral video.
Tegan seemed clueless about what she was doing and asked her mother what a CD was. Many viewers watched the video and expressed how it made them feel old. One user commented, “I’m trying to explain live TV channels and commercials to my daughter, and she finds it hard to believe.”

However, some believed that Tegan lacked insight into the matter. One user said, “As long as you observe keenly, you’ll know that opening it from the other side isn’t difficult… Whether she knows what a CD is or not,” while another added, “Nobody taught me how to open a CD, but I can still do it.” In response, the woman filmed another video, giving Tegan a second chance to open the CD case and dropping a hint, “Think of it as a book, so if you treat it like a book…” After flipping the CD case and inspecting the top, Tegan finally succeeded in opening it!

The woman explained to her daughter that CDs are kept in these cases to ensure their safety. Tegan was astonished by this revelation and asked, “So it’s like a baseball card book? Or like a Pokémon card?”
The woman replied, “Yes, exactly,” and mentioned that she had her own CD collection, which she would show Tegan.
Nevertheless, many viewers found it hard to believe that this information was entirely new to Tegan. One user expressed their disbelief, saying, “People really don’t know what CDs are? I’m only 15, but I have CDs too,” while another 22-year-old reminisced, “As a young person of 22, I suddenly feel nostalgic for my youth, flipping through my mom’s CDs and choosing what to listen to in the car.”
