The individual posted: “If Teresa’s daughter is my daughter’s mother, that means: Teresa’s daughter = my daughter’s mother. My daughter’s mother would usually think of herself unless the speaker was the father. So in this case, the speaker is Teresa’s daughter. So the answer to ‘What am I Teresa?’ is: b. Mother.”
“Daughters,” added another.
A third joined in, “C. You are the mother of your daughter, so you are Teresa’s daughter.”
“Mother-in-law, just answer,” declared the fourth.
A fifth commented, “Teresa’s daughter, if Teresa’s daughter is the mother of your daughter and you are the mother of your daughter, then you must be Teresa’s daughter.”
“Option F. You are the father,” argued the sixth.
A seventh noted, “Grandma, because if Teresa is ‘my’ daughter’s daughter, then you’re technically a grandmother.”
