4 Month Ultrasound Appointment:

Technician: “Well, the ultrasound came out great. Do you want to know your baby’s gender?”

Technician: “A baby ____, congratulations!  Of course, these things aren’t 100% accurate, so you’ll have to wait a few more months to know for sure.”

Excited Parents: “Oh, we understand!  A little surprise in life never hurt anyone!”

Doctor: “Congratulations, its a ____!  Of course, these things aren’t 100% accurate, so you’ll have to wait a few more years to know for sure.”

Exhausted Parents: “Oh, we understand!  A little surprise in life never hurt anyone!”
