Disturbing: Apparently One Person In This Family Is An Infant And Two Are The Parents But It’s Impossible To Tell Which

Get ready for chills to run down your spine, because it doesn’t get more disturbing than this unsolvable real-life mystery: Apparently one person in this family is an infant and two are the parents, but it’s impossible to tell which. 

Jesus Christ. This is not right. This is just not right at all. 

At first glance, you probably noticed something peculiar about the Dority family, of Conway, New Hampshire. That’s because somehow, some way, one of the Doritys is an 8-month-old baby, and the other are two fully grown adults—a distinction that you simply cannot make with the naked eye alone. Usually, it’s quite easy to tell an infant apart from its parents, but that just isn’t the case here. Take a look at the Doritys below: if you didn’t know these three people were a family unit, you’d be forgiven for wondering whether you were looking at three adults, or three infants, or even two infants and one adult. 

Any luck? Didn’t think so. Careful not to think yourself into an aneurysm trying to tell who’s the baby and who’s not. These people are a living optical illusion. One is in diapers and hasn’t said their first word yet…and the other two have jobs and are married…and it’s anyone’s guess as to who is who. Yikes. This would be fascinating if it weren’t so deeply upsetting. 

You can only imagine how many times this family has gone out to a restaurant and had a waiter bring them three high chairs out of sheer confusion.

Wow. Just when you feel you’ve got this family pegged, your brain begins to second guess itself until you’re scratching your head all over again. At the risk of sounding insensitive, there’s something going on genetically with this family, right? There has to be.  All we know is anyone who says they can tell baby Dority apart from Mom and Dad Dority is a liar.
