I am so glad I had my two children before gender reveal parties became a “thing.”

See what happens when you get the men involved in women’s things. We had no problems when it was just baby showers, men left at home twiddling their thumbs. :D

If you throw a gender reveal party and the kid is trans or NB, don't you owe them another correct gender reveal party? :nerdy:

My favorite outcome for these parties is when the kid ends up being trans and their parents look like idiots.

Just blow a huge plume of white smoke and tell the guests that it's a baby.

Bruce Jenner's folks are long gone. But he could throw himself one.

And can afford to go all out.

Maybe...shoot a squadron of ICBM's at the full moon...in a pattern...so when they explode in unison on the Moon's surface they spell out the words "it's a girl!".

OHOHOH...and...make it so the explosions are pink in color!

Just a few thermonuclear devices powerful enough to be seen from the Earth's surface a quarter of a million miles away.

What could possibly go wrong? :D
