The Gender Reveal Gone Wrong
Our lovely mom-to-be was over the moon when her husband’s confetti cannon popped pink, and she thought she was finally getting her little girl. But, in a cruel twist, her MIL made her pop her own cannon, which turned out to be blue. Then, the ‘real’ cannons were handed out, and both popped blue, confirming she was having another boy. While she loves all her children dearly, she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken after experiencing the joy of having a girl for a brief moment. The whole thing happened in front of an audience, leaving her feeling embarrassed and upset. Her MIL apologized, but the damage was done. Now, let’s see what the internet has to say about this emotional rollercoaster of a gender reveal…
