Mum left stumped by five-year-old daughter's homework on the letter 'O'

A mum says she was left stumped by her five-year-old daughter's homework on the letter 'O'. The woman confessed she spent a long time trying to figure it out before eventually giving up, reports the Mirror.

She took to social media to try and find the answers to the sheet that her daughter was given by her teacher. Posting on Reddit, the mother thinks the homework assignment doesn't make any sense.

She said: "The homework assignment my five-year-old daughter was given - I am so confused." The homework sheet attached to the post is centred around the letter O and asks pupils to "circle the pictures that begin with O".

However the issue is that there doesn't seem to be any pictures starting with the letter O, As the images shown display a vet, a rope, a jar of jam, a bone and toes.

The bizarre homework sparked a lot of debate on social media with people quick to give their views. Many came up with their own unique theories on what the answers could be.

The worksheet (Reddit)

Some users questioned whether the vet is actually an "otorhinolaryngologic for animals". Meanwhile, others joked if the jar is in fact an "openless jar of jam".

Another person added: "The second one is obviously Obi-Wan's robe." Whilst another theorised: "Pretty sure that's Olallieberry jam."

However, others actually made a concerted effort to try and solve the homework. One person: "My best guess is the question should have been 'Circle the picture with the O sound'.

"This would have been toe, robe and bone. But it's a poorly created worksheet."
