Who's the mom? The viral family photo that's been baffling the internet

9 Feb, 2016
Who's the mom? The viral family photo that's been baffling the internet

Meet the three ladies whose family photo has left the internet awestruck.

The internet does love a good challenge. And this is the latest one they’re obsessing over.

Just recently, “the dress debate” threatened to break the internet as it split everyone into two groups: one who believed it was white and gold while the other half believed it to be blue and black.

At first glance, it’s easy to think this is just a regular photo of sisters taking a selfie in a car.

But, apparently, one of them is the mother of the other two.

16-year-old Kaylan Mahones revealed this by way of the accompanying caption which read, “Mom, twin & me”.

Thus far, the photo of Kaylan with her twin Kyla and mom Tina has been retweeted nearly 35,000 times!

Mom, twin & me.❤️pic.twitter.com/2l5QEfYX1f

Many twitter users have expressed their disbelief and have shared the photo along with the hashtag #blackdontcrack, a common expression referring to African-Americans whose smooth, flawless skin tends to make them look younger than their age. 

@DaRealNY_ lol my mom is on the left!????????

Can you guess who the mom is?

The answer is…

whos the mom

The twins’ mom, Tina, is the one on the far left wearing a black jacket!

Did you guess it correctly?

Due to the success of their first photo, the trio have been granting interviews and media appearances.

Can YOU tell these twins apart from their mom? https://t.co/OpWpcvQAxXpic.twitter.com/vs5Q9Ps6BB

They posted a video onto their new instagram account; this time, they’re actually challenging the internet to tell them apart!
