6. A Mother's Unexpected Role
6. A man and his son are in a car crash. The father is killed and the child is taken to hospital gravely injured. When he gets there, the surgeon says, 'I can't operate on this boy - for he is my son!!!' How can this possibly be?

Hint: This has nothing to do with adoption or time travel.
Solution:
The surgeon can not operate on her own son; she is his mother.

and there's nothing to do with adoption or time travel this is gd.
Can you find the mistake? HINT: When 'HE' gets there. This assumes that 'he' is male - father, and not mother, which I believe is a reasonable understanding.
