Riddle

Two dogs are sitting on a porch - a fat dog and a thin dog. The little dog is the son of the fat dog, but the fat dog is not the father of the thin dog. Can you explain?

Choose an answer

A.They are unrelated
B.The thin dog is adopted
C.The fat dog is the grandfather
D.The fat dog is the mother.
Hint: It's a 6-word phrase with 20 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

The fat dog is the mother.

Why this is the answer

The riddle assumes 'parent' must mean 'father,' but the fat dog can still be related as the mother instead.
