Today, when a family member announces the news of her pregnancy, the first thing that comes up is bets and divided opinions about the sex of the baby. With the famous trend of the gender reveal celebration, the bets between family and friends to see who is correct in whether it will be a girl or a boy are more and more.
For this reason, at the moment in which the parents explode the artifacts to show the color blue or pink, it is common for the guests to scream and jump with emotion. However, in this viral video it was not like that, since everyone exploded with joy except for the grandmother, who could not hide her face of disgust when she saw that her first great-grandchild would be a boy.
In the viral video that begins with cries of happiness and excitement at knowing that the happy couple will have a boy, you can see how the camera immediately focuses on the reaction of the grandmother, who, more than angry, was disappointed, since her granddaughter he had promised her that if it was a girl, he would name her Elena, after her.
That was how as soon as she saw the color blue, she couldn’t help but get upset, not only because they would name her after her, but also because her grandmother already had her first gift. So among everyone’s happiness, she decided to get away from the place.
I think the video is funny. My grandmother is very similar. She’s a character and she loves to provoke people’s reactions, so that’s who she is. I am the first granddaughter to have a great-grandson, so it was a big deal for her. I told her that if she was a girl, she was going to name it after her, so she was very excited and my due date is also her birthday. It was a lot of mixed emotions for her.

The grandmother’s reaction was not very well received by users on social networks, for which she was quite criticized for being upset. However, after going viral, the granddaughter shared another recording in which the grandmother explains her discomfort and assured that she is happy to receive her first great-grandchild and she hopes that she is born as healthy as possible.
