Can you guess who the mum is in this photo?

People don’t even believe that this 39-year-old is the mother of two teenage girls.

Kienya Booker's photos have gone viral after she first posted a “then-and-now” collage of herself and her two daughters and people thought the natural hair guru must be the the long-lost triplet of her teenage offspring.

And while the first throwback photo makes it evident that Booker is the eldest of the three, it seems that as her daughters K’Lienya and Kolieya Smith age, she simply does not.

“It was throwback Thursday on Instagram, and I decided to post a split picture,” Booker explained to Yahoo Lifestyle.

“The top half of the picture was a throwback of me and my daughters from about 12 to 13 years ago, and the bottom half was a more recent picture of us. And that’s when it all started.”

As many on the internet do, people began to make memes. Most of the captions, along the lines of “Did their mom even age?” were funny and flattering. But others got a little weird.

“I came across a lot of people saying, ‘She’s not the mom, she’s their sister,’ or ‘She probably raised her little sisters and took them as her daughters,’ or ‘People will do anything for fame,’ meaning I’m pretending to be the mom,” Booker said.

Then some began to claim that she might have even been a teen mom, saying that she must have been 15 years old when she first gave birth — which she says she was not.

As the meme continued to be reposted on various pages, Booker was exposed to a number of opinions of strangers on the internet, including those who called her Benjamin Button. She calls the experience “bittersweet.”

“Thrilled about the meme but a bit thrown off with some of the negative comments,” she explains. “But for the most part, it was totally awesome!”

Through the numerous photos that Booker continues to post of herself and her two daughters, followers can see that the resemblance between them all is uncanny.

However, she passed something else onto her daughters as well.

“My Instagram page focuses on natural hairstyles and caring for natural hair, so I’m posting pictures of my daughters and I daily showing our hairstyles and the products we use,” Booker said

“I also record and post video tutorials showing how we created some of the styles.”
