Seven counting the dog.

Me too.
Beine it IS in the trick catigory.
Many variation but still liked it

your answer was 6 but how would we know that? there could be seven or eight, there are three answers. But i still like it, it was fun, but put it in logic!
Each of the three sons has the SAME sister, plus mom & dad makes a total of 6 people.
ur awser is dumb but i tought is was mr. smith mrs. smith son son son sister sister sister
No...the teaser each son has "A" sister....so each son only has "ONE" sister....it being the SAME sister....this is correct....
good teaser, very easy.....but still good. don't be bitter y'all cause you can't answer a teaser.
