Great-grandparents hilariously try to figure out what's on a special balloon
Grandparents are the best; it's like having your parents around only you are more spoiled.
They give us life, and we love nothing more than including them in every aspect of our lives.
So when one couple received some very surprising news, they obviously wanted to share it with their grandparents.
Thinking up a special way to reveal their future plans, they gifted the pair a balloon.
A lone white balloon which came out of a box, with a little photograph attached at the end of the string.
While most family members would have assumed their news was firmly out in the open at this stage, Granny and Granddad were quite perplexed.
Granddad laughed, not really knowing what was going on, wondering where the box came from, while Grandma wonders why there's a picture of an owl staring back at her…
When it's revealed that Grandma may only have seen a couple of these pictures in her life, she is left even more confused, taking a swift swig from her beer.
Grandpa finally takes over, studying hard, and when he sees a hospital name on the picture he comes to the conclusion the hospital received a donation from his grandson.
We can hear a family member say: "He made a donation alright," in the background, but it still takes a minute or two for things to sit, as they realise the grandparents may not have seen one of these before.
When Granddad finally says 'it's not a baby in the womb', a woman shouts 'it is so', before Grandma's face turns, examines, and asks is the picture an ultrasound.
They're about to become great-grandparents and the excitement in the family is palpable – how cool are these guys!
Can you believe they have never seen an ultrasound before?
