Grandmother, Mother and Daughter Say They Look Alike, The Internet Disagrees

March 3, 2016
So, The Sun London wrote an article about a female trio from the same family that are so young-looking that they’re able to wear each others clothes, though ranging in age from 16 to 65.

Admirable!

But that’s not why we’re here. The kicker is that these female trio say they get mistaken for sisters.

The Sun had shared the link via Twitter. But Twitter people did not take it. Just like they didn’t take it when another British publication tried to make us believe that these two were sisters and not mother and daughter.

But they all jumped on the bandwagon after the picture of this black family went viral, because nobody could tell who the mother was.

Comments ranged from…

The person who foretold the coming of the Apocalpyse.

And posted pictures to portray that Blacks age faster.

Another disagreed right of the bat.

This one as well.

The Black Twitter came. The first person gave this more than epic reply.

Then more.

And more.

And even more.

This one even had to swear.

No chill whatsoever.

What do we think?

To each their own abeg! But there’s a reason there’s the phrase “Black don’t crack”.
