Mom Mishears Daughter's Phone Call, Assumes She's Pregnant


Now this is just our kind of funny misunderstanding. Mom overhears her daughter on the phone, pieces together what she heard, leaps to a big assumption, and bam, assumes daughter is pregnant. Naturally, the resulting picture was absurd and totally avoidable. Good stuff.

Text - r/tifu + JOIN u/inquisitivemind79 • 16h TIFU by talking loudly on my phone and convincing my mom I was pregnant.
