WYR get paint bombed at a gender reveal or have your mum drunkenly put you up for sale on eBay?
Context: The first part of this week’s Would You Rather refers to this TikTok of someone getting paint all over their face at a gender reveal party, while the second part takes inspiration from this TikTok of a guy viewers his mother accidentally put a picture of his brother on eBay trying to sell a ‘lava lamp’ for $3.
Georjia: I’ve never been to a baby-related event so I’m probably not the best to ask. I don’t see why gender reveals and baby showers aren’t the same thing, two birds with one stone type of party. But if I’m there as a guest and get paint bombed, me and my baby gift are leaving deadass. Plus my dry cleaning bill will be sent to the soon-to-be parents. My mother ‘accidentally’ listing me on eBay, however, is hilarious. I would have to mention it in loads of situations to see how people’s reactions. I don’t think there is any harm in accidentally doing that, I do think there is harm in ingesting blue or pink paint and having it in my system for a good couple of days. Upload me on to eBay!
Annie: First of all, why am I at a gender reveal party in the first place? Don’t get me wrong, I love celebrating every little thing, but you’ve got a baby shower and then a lifetime of your child’s birthdays ahead of you, maybe leave out a party where you freak out over what gender you’ll assign them at birth. My mum accidentally uploading a picture of me instead of the thing she’s actually selling on eBay? Hilarious. Story of a lifetime. I will not shut up about that for at least 25 dinner parties. Maybe she just had so many pictures of me on her phone that she accidentally clicked on the wrong one! Would I rather be loved and adored by my mum or get paint all over my face? This one answers itself.
