In the picture below, two women are sitting opposite each other. Your mission is to find out who the boy’s mother is.

This is not a trick question where the answer is something like “neither of them is” – one of the women is. But is it the one to the right or the left?

Can you figure out which of them is the child’s mother? Can you figure it out?

The answer is listed under this photo, so decide now – the woman to the right, or the left?

ANSWER:
Okay, do you have your answer ready?

The correct answer: The boy’s mum is the woman sitting on the left-hand side of the picture.

There are a few clues that point you in that direction, such as the fact that their hair color matches, and the fact that the boy is facing her while playing with his toys, indicating that he feels comfortable with her and she isn’t a stranger.

Also, the woman is leaning forward in her chair toward the child, which reflects the natural desire for a mum to protect her child – while the other woman is relaxed in her chair.

Did you get it right? Congratulations in that case!
