What do YOU see?

Last weekend I got together with my family for a cookout and general gabfest. Five of my sister's grandchildren were there, so it was pretty loud. Riley, the oldest at 11, was running around and my eyes settled on his shirt. This is what he had on.

I said, "Hey Riley! What's that on your shirt?"

"A gorilla."

"Say what?" I said.

"It's a gorilla wearing headphones and sunglasses."

Well, I saw the sunglasses. And yep, there's the headphones.

But I didn't see no stinking ape.

What I saw was a kitty-cat.

The light brown color is the ape's face; the dark brown is the hairy other part. The two triangles above the glasses are supposed to be his eyebrows.

Uh, I STILL can't see it.

I see a cat.

Riley couldn't BELIEVE that his old aunt couldn't see the gorilla.

So I asked everyone else in the room, "What do you see -a gorilla or a cat?"

My brother saw a cat.

My twin sister saw a cat.

My sister-in-law saw a cat.

My OTHER sister (Riley's grandmother) saw a cat. THEN she saw a gorilla.

Riley's mother AND step-father saw a gorilla.

Here's the photo again.

Nope. Still can't see it.

So here's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking that only young people see the gorilla. (And my sister, Riley's grandma, was just trying to be NICE, and she LIED and said she saw the gorilla.)

What do you see?

It's like this photo.  Do you see the Old Hag or the Young Woman? Or both?

Can you tell, is this picture showing a man playing a saxophone or a lady’s face?

When you look at this picture close range you see Albert Einstein.

Now stand up and take several steps back, roughly 15 feet away, it will become… Marilyn Monroe. (Albeit Marilyn Monroe with a mustache!)  (Or if you're near-sighted, just remove your glasses.)


Here's a fun one. If you check carefully you will see that all the things are being sucked inwards. 

Do you see two faces in here?

Find the man in the coffee beans.

Once you find the man, it is so obvious. But I had a HECK of a time finding him!

If you can't find him, don't feel bad. You know, I admit, I'm not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. When the movie "Batman" first came out and this symbol started appearing EVERYWHERE,

I thought, "What the heck is this big mouth with yellow teeth mean?"

Do you see it?
