The Epic Baby Announcement Fail

I'm a pretty good writer.  I am good at managing money.  I'm very organized.  But I'm not super cutesy or creative.  So when we found out about The Baby from Texas, I was so excited when I also came up with a super cute way to tell my parents they were going to be grandparents.

So....my dad had to have a medical test done in January.  I came up with the following card idea.

Outside of the card said:

 Inside of the card said:

"We already passed ours" and an arrow pointing to the picture below

I mean, seriously.  I felt like it was Pinterest worthy.

I went to Hobby Lobby to buy materials.  Had the picture printed.  We drove 2 hours home.  Made The Boy from Texas video them getting the announcement because in my head they were probably going to scream and jump around and my dad might have said something really funny that could have made us  You Tube sensations.

Reality, however, was far from that.

We were all in the living room watching tv.  The Boy from Texas got the phone ready.  I went and got the card, handed it to my dad, and prepared for the awesomeness that was sure to follow.

Dad:  "I don't get it.  Test? 

Me:  Read the card, look at the picture.

Dad: What's this a picture of, is it a sword?

Mom:  Here, let me see it, geez.

Dad:  No, I can see, it just doesn't make sense.  This is stupid.

Me:  Oh good grief, give it to mom.

Mom:  Well I can't see this without my glasses, it's dark in here.  Where are my glasses.

Me:  Are you guys kidding me?

The Boy from Texas:  I think I can stop recording.

Mom:  Wait, are you pregnant?

Me:  Yes!

Dad:  Well why did you tell us with a sword?


For. The.  Love.

{In my dad's defense, apparently he had never seen a pregnancy test before.  I guess they didn't exist in the stone ages when he was having kids.}
