YouTube user M. Whigham wrote that he and his wife, both 37, decided to have some fun announcing their pregnancy to Whigham's mother-in-law. The couple handed her a box with two beaded bracelets (one pink, one blue), and a charm that said #1 Grandma.

Because the mother-in-law already has two grandchildren, Whigham knew that she would just assume that the charm applied to them.

"We will let you know which bracelet to attach it to when we find out which sex it is," Whigham's wife told her mother.

"Well, I have one of each," she started before realizing what her daughter meant. "YOU'RE PREGNANT! NO SIR! MOMMY! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! PACK MY BAGS, I'M MOVING TO PHILLY!"

Whigham's wife responded, "That was the best reaction ever!"
