Yarmulke

At what age do Jewish boys start wearing yarmulke? I thought it was 13 but yesterday I saw a Jewish family with a young kid with a yarmulke so I must have been wrong.

Usually when the boy is big enough to keep the yarmulka on his head, or from the age where he can understand the basic meaning of covering your head.

The answer is usually at the age of 3. It is a custom not to cut a boys hair until he is 3 and at that time he puts on a yarmulke and tzistis (tzistis if he is potty trained only)

"I will eat your children"

That custom is called "Upsherin."  I once mistakingly told a rabbi that his daughter was cute.  He looked at me, sternly, his black hat nearly touching my face, and said, "She is a boy."
