'My Wife and My Mother-in-Law' is a famous ambiguous image, which can be perceived either as a young girl or an old woman (the 'wife' and the 'mother-in-law', respectively).
History[edit]
'My Wife and My Mother-in-Law' from 1915
1888 German postcard
Teddi Mellencamp may have joined The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills some time back, but she isn’t new to fame and the high life. She is the daughter of music legend, John Mellencamp and Vicky Granucci. Although her father is pretty famous, not much is known about Teddi Mellencamp’s mother. You take the role of Sophia Parker, a happily married middle-aged woman and mother of a son and daughter. Due to her husband’s new job offer she just moved with her family from their sleepy, cold, small town to San Alejo, a hot megacity by the sea. A Wife and Mother: How Far Would You Go?
American cartoonist William Ely Hill (1887–1962) published 'My Wife and My Mother-in-Law' in Puck, an American humour magazine, on 6 November 1915, with the caption 'They are both in this picture — Find them'.[1] However, the oldest known form of this image is an 1888 German postcard.[2]
In 1930 Edwin Boring introduced the figure to psychologists in a paper titled 'A new ambiguous figure', and it has since appeared in textbooks and experimental studies.[3][4]

Kevin Hart is finally coming clean about cheating on his pregnant wife, Eniko Parrish, earlier this year.
In August, the comedian laughed off reports he had strayed and later said he was being extorted over images taken without his knowledge in Las Vegas hotel room with another woman.
The following month, Hart simply copped to having made 'a bad error in judgment,' and apologized to his wife and kids in an emotional video on Instagram.
Now, the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle star is admitting to cheating.
In an appearance on New York's Power 105.1 radio show, The Breakfast Club, Hart called himself 'beyond' irresponsible. He said, 'That's Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment. That's not the finest hour of my life. With that being said, you make your bed, you lay in it.'
Hart, 38, said he wasn't thinking and had gone to Vegas on a whim while his family was out of town.
'I'm guilty, regardless of how it happened and what was involved and (expletive) I can't talk about,' he told The Breakfast Club.
The woman involved, Montia Sabbag, said publicly she was not suing or extorting the actor after their 'intimate relationship.'
Hart said afterwards that he decided to face the music. He shut down the production of his film and made his then-pregnant wife aware of the situation, 'hoping that she has the heart to where she can forgive me and understand that this is not going to be a recurring thing.'
'We talked,' he said. 'That's when the bond of your union will be questioned. No one is perfect.'

Hart and Parrish married last year and welcomed their first child, a son named Kenzo, on Nov. 21.
He also has two other children from his previous marriage to actress Torrei Hart: Son Hendrix, 10, and daughter Heaven, 12.
Hart called the infidelity 'a reality check and a gut-punch from God.'
