The thing that I never believe is that anyone recognizes someone from childhood like that. I remember a kid when I was 5 and we were bffs 0 chance I'd recognized now.
I wasnt even friends with a kid from my elementary school but we recognized each other in our 20s when we ran into each other paddling a river. It does happen but it depends how much the person changes over the years
Also how much you interact with them on the more recent encounter.
More time spent together gives more time to tickle those “wait, you seem familiar…” vibes in the back of your mind.
