These Folks Turned A Family Photo Into A Pregnancy Announcement

Family get-togethers are the best thing you a person can do. Everybody gathers around, no matter if it’s over a simple family dinner or just a quick coffee and they get to catch up with one another. It is also the best way to convey a message to everybody in one sitting, or perhaps some wonderful news. Like this couple did and boy, did it go swell!Show more

Erin Carmichael had some incredible news to share with her family and together with her husband they coined a perfect plan to catch everyone off-guard. At their latest family dinner, gathered with their parents and other loved ones, they decided to suggest a nice photo op with their remote controlled digital camera. You know, the ones where you have this tiny remote control that you have to press a button for the shutter, but they don’t seem to always catch the signal.

Anyway, they set everything up and Erin’s husband has the remote. He gives the countdown before everyone says “cheese” but that dang remote doesn’t work. Let’s try that again. Nope, that doesn’t work. Everyone is in their good spirits, laughing how terrible he is in handling his gadget.

But when he asks them for a third shot, he tells them to say “Erin’s pregnant”. Now, what really fascinates us is how well this distraction worked. First of all, we believe that only one of the relatives caught the message and actually said those two words. The others mumbled something unintelligible and stood there in confusion.

“Are you serious?” says one of the moms and Erin’s answer seals the deal. So much screaming in one room should not be allowed!

Congrats Erin!, on both the idea and the new addition to the family.
