How about this one? Again, not quite a joke, but I guess the joke was on me . . . !
At Brno Zoo on Monday, my partner was walking along with me, and he happened to check his phone. “It’s a boy.” he said.
“Oh my God!” I shrieked, thinking that he meant THE birth of the year, the two month old sun bear cub at Usti Nad Labem Zoo who we had visited the previous Wednesday, and who I was absolutely dying to find out the sex of. I mean, what else could ever possibly be such important news?
Turns out that he only meant the royal baby.
