The answer is...










A 5 y/o New York Girl's homework has left the internet BAFFLED with this challenging homework assignment that her mother posted...

Royce Winnick said her daughter came home with this homework and was stumped and she couldn't figure it out either!!

The homework focuses on writing the letter "T" as it starts off simply enough but with instructions telling the student to trace the letter, then write a few of their own.

The next section is where it gets tricky as it tells students to "tap out the word in the picture and write out the sounds you hear"..

The first 3 were easy but one left them stumped as it appears to show an animal..but nothing about it seems to suggest it begins with the letter "T"...or does it?...she ultimately gave an answer which the teacheer gave an "OK", meaning she got the credit but it was NOT the answer they wanted!!

When Royce went to ask for the answer, that was when she got the shocking answer that no one predicted...

So what do you think it is? let's see what people will vote

Why do you never give the answer? You don't seem to understand clickbait.

I think tap is just identify the picture and then say the word tapping on the paper each letter sound to sound out the word

I might be wrong but that's what I assumed

Turns out the real answer is Vet. Something that wasn't put in the poll.

My brain hurts!

WTF does "tap out" mean?

I think the answer is that they are TRIBBLES with eyes, ears and legs!

Vets do keep animals in cages sometimes but yeah I'd have never guessed it.

I'm guessing they were just trying to be cute with "tap out" because it's an exercise about the letter T. At first glance, I thought of Morse code.
