If TSA agent asks a young family member their age? How would U react?

TSA laws does NOT require ID for anyone under 18 on domestic travel. How would you as a parent react if the TSA agent sees all the domestic boarding passes and ID of the parents and still asks the boy how old he is even though the kid looks very young?
We have a 9 years old child and traveled domestic recently and the tsa employee asks our son how old he is and what his name was. NO ID is required to show so I didn't show my son's ID. Everyone knows 9 years old child is a small child not even a teenager. My son despite being autistic can say few words and say his name so we told the agent politely he is 9 and my son gave the agent his name.
Wondering how would other parents react. Would you reply with the age and name of your young child or would you reply NOPE, NOT REQUIRED?

Will they than send the traveling family on secondary inspection as a retaliation?
