A riddle about Moses being both the son of the Pharaoh's daughter and the daughter of the Pharaoh's son. The trick isn't about gender or incest, but about how language can mislead you if you're not listening carefully.

Yes. I've got a little problem for you today. It's called the Moses problem, and it goes like this. Moses was the son of the Pharaoh's daughter. He was also the daughter of the Pharaoh's son. Same man, same Moses. How can this be? Now, a lot of people think this is about transgender or sex change or incest or some other weird thing, but it's not. It's very straightforward. It's really about ambiguity. It's about communication. It's about you listening very carefully. And as soon as you get it, you'll get it, though not many people do. It's a tough riddle. I'll say it again. Moses was the son of the Pharaoh's daughter. He was also the daughter of the Pharaoh's son. How could this be? If you get it, well done. If you don't, send me an email and I'll send you the answer. Good luck.
