    The wording of the headline, and the people in the photo made me confused.

    First: Is this badly worded? Did it mean a mother of twins’ child has just had quadruplets? That’s the mother at the back in the middle, her 2 twin sons beside her in…clinical gowns? No…

    Second: The mother had twins, one of them has had quadruplets, it’s him the picture is foc…no, wait - same thing.

    Third: The woman at the front has 2 twin daughters (also in the picture), and she’s now had an additional set of quadruplets and the father is staring at the camera because…? There’s no way in hell he didn’t know she was having quadruplets.

    Fourth: Why are there 3 people in the back? Like, they’re taking the focus.

      The mother (holding two children) had quadruplets. She is carrying two children, the other two are being carried by the father.

      The twins (left and right) are the parents’ older children. In the background are three hospital workers.

      The picture is a meme because the father is looking at the camera in a funny way and is obviously happy about his new children.

      The title isn’t confusing, the extra people in the photo can be, but then you look at who’s holding the babies and infer those are the parents.

      I don’t think he’s staring at the camera like this because he didn’t expect it, but because a birth of quarduplets takes a lot of time. He’s probably just really exhausted and is trying to keep his eyes open.

      Why does it focus on the mother and not “couple who had twins, has quadruplets”. Idk, the wording just sucks.

        The mother gave birth to them. If that’s the thing that confuses you I don’t know what else to say.
