Between being in high school, not having enough money, and being under 18 years old, teens do not typically purchase houses. So when a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old claimed to have bought their first house together in a tongue-in-cheek tweet, the Internet reacted very intensely.

Natalia Kaiser, 17, and her boyfriend Joe O'Brien, 16, of Burleson, Texas, recently visited Joe's aunt's home. The couple, who have been together for two years, decided to pose for a picture to show off their matching shirts. "We had bought matching shirts earlier that day and Joe's brother's girlfriend wanted to take a picture with her boyfriend because they looked cute. So Joe and I also took a photo because we were matching," Natalia told Teen Vogue. "The photo was taken in front of a house, and I thought it was funny-looking because we looked like home owners. So that's why I decided to post it with the caption not thinking anything of it."

So, Natalia went with her instinct and shared the photo to Twitter, with a caption that sounds just like one new homeowners would write. "We just bought our first house at the age of 17&16. So proud of how hard we worked these last few years to get it 😁," she joked alongside the shot.

As of Thursday afternoon, the tweet has over 17,000 likes. Natalia was not expecting her tweet to go viral – nor was she expecting the internet to take it so seriously. "I knew our friends would understand it was a joke because clearly we are under age and our parents would never ever let us do that," Natalia told Teen Vogue. "It's gotten way more attention than I ever anticipated."

Those who took the tweet seriously were not amused — and they expressed that with some pretty glorious GIFs...

...while others were at least a little bit amused by her Twitter bio, which clarified that she does not in fact own a house.

Some people straight-up shot down any theories that this nonsense was real with cold hard facts.

And some repurposed her caption into a glorious new meme of its own.

Here's hoping this lesson taught the Internet a thing or two about the importance of being chill.
