Another one totally weirded out by the word daughter, I was even questioning whether I have a daughter, which I do by the way 😁

Son in law, unless you're a weirdo who speaks of themselves in the third person.

I’m off to bleach my eyeballs. The word daughter looks so strange now! And yes, I have a daughter as well!

Daughter

AGovernmentOfLawsAndNotMen · 31/10/2023 01:31

Maybe we Should we spell daughter
doorter

We’ll just have to blame the monks with that one

As there is not a male option, then whatever it is must be a same sex relationship!!
But, I'm still baffled 🤣🤣

Anyone else read the word “daughter” too many times and now it looks weird?

You are not alone!

Yep me too.

Oh yes, that would do wouldn't it - I was taking daughter in the literal/biological sense.

F - You might not be female, therefore you could be Kate's son in-law.

That's what I thought. But I guess part of the riddle is to is to make it fit the answers.

GeekyDiva80 · 31/10/2023 02:45

Won't you be the mother?

TommyNever · 31/10/2023 02:58

Daughter or son-in-law, and Bob's your uncle.

Jethia · 31/10/2023 03:08

Son in law

Thank you everyone for deciphering. My brain just short circuits on stuff like this. I even tried to draw it out. Blush

My daughter's mother can only be either me or me and my female partner. (We'd both be her mother)

So the question is if Kate's daughter is me, who am I to kate.

I can't be male because that's not one of the options.

Yes, but who is 'I' in the question?

xILikeJamx · 31/10/2023 13:15

'Daughter' is now too weird to look at, so henceforth it shall be spelled 'dotter'

I was thinking the exact same thing!! hahaha

I thought you were gonna say Boswell, I was fuming!

I can't, my brain hurts and now I think daughter is spelt wrong too 🙈
