Over the weekend, the Kardashian-Jenner clan appeared out in full force in celebration of Kim's 43rd birthday. Natch. And of course, to commemorate her sister, Khloé posted on Instagram a series of photos – and one of which caused an uproar of confusion... just another day in the life for our reality gals.

As mentioned, KoKo shared a 10-part carousel post, wishing Kim nothing but the best. "The Keeks to my KoKo," she adorably wrote. But it was the first pic that had fans (and haters, unfortunately) running to the comments section.

"Who is that in the first picture?" one comment with over 1,000 likes reads, followed by another that said: "Is it just me noticing the first picture being hella off looking."

Intrigued? Well, see the photo in question below...

Hilariously, Khloé addressed the former comment, saying: "@kelseeky It's me! Todd Kraines," shortly followed by an explanation.

"I did not think I would have to explain this, but the first photo is of me wearing a mask of my sister's face," she cleared up. And to that, all we can say is LOL.

Everyone's clicking on...

I can't lie, you did have us a little bewildered, too, Khlo!

Continuing, she wrote: "🤣😳 To everyone that's confused not knowing she had a tattoo, she does not. To everyone saying I posted a really ugly photo of her, it's of me wearing a face mask lol everything will be ok kids! I promise. Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to wish @kimkardashian a very happy birthday 🩵 🩵."

And just for good measure, here is a pap snap of Khloé arriving at the party wearing the exact same mask.

I think this goes without saying but please, do think before you judge, guys! Or rather, leave a suggesting comment on someone's IG feed! Because after all, they may be wearing a mask of their sister's face.
