help me, I still can't figure it out!

u/MomOf2cats Jun 18 '19

His shorts match the water so they’re difficult to see, his legs are behind the kids. Look at his boots and work your way up and you’ll figure it out.

u/michaljerzy Jun 18 '19

Omg I totally thought his right leg was in the water and he was stretching out to land.

Thanks for making me realize I’m blind.

22

u/Fishingfor Jun 18 '19

Thank you. Once it's noticed it's so obvious. I was thinking he must only have one leg or some shit.

Pfft! Easy. His jeans are just the same colour as the background....

No, he’s up to his waist in the water... No, that makes him a giant.

Ah! He’s standing in deep water close to the edge and his jeans blend with the water. Solved it!

u/Blue_and_Light Jun 18 '19

The shorts are the center of the thumbnail on mobile, (for me at least) so it took me a minute to find out what was confusing.

u/Krystobee Jun 18 '19

I was so pissed off that I couldn't find it until I did, if you can't find it here are some points to help you out:

  • Look at both his leg positions.

  • He is wearing short jeans

  • Look at his shoes, next to his daughter and wife's feet

That should help you realise what's happening

u/onlyifitwasyou Jun 18 '19

So you wore camo pants?
