1.1Mviews
Imagine the scene. You are going about your daily business when there's a buzz on your phone. “Ah, It's my sweetheart,” you notice, with a frisson of romantic excitement. “I wonder what she wants.” You reach for the phone, the possibilities whizzing through your mind. Could it be a seductive photo, along with the offer of a hot weekend away somewhere? Or maybe she wants to compliment you on that awesome sandwich you made her for lunch? Do we need milk?
“I WANT A BABY,” is all the message says; no context, no further explanation. Holy crap! Where the hell did that come from! Then the panic starts to set in. How to respond to this bombshell? With brutal honesty, or cautious logic? Perhaps some light humor? Or simply delete, block and move to another state?
This viral Twitter prank, started by @kelllicopter, cheekily puts this scenario to the test. "My roommate and I were a little tipsy and we were talking about babies," Kelly explained to Bored Panda. "My roommate said 'I’m gonna text my boyfriend and tell him that I want a baby,' and I thought it was funny. So I told my boyfriend @joeygllghr that I wanted one too, just to see his response."
"I just wanted to see what boys would say in that situation because sometimes they get a bit squeamish about that kind of stuff. There were a lot of 'maybe one day' kind of answers but there were also a lot of funny and unique ones too! I even saw one that was someone asking to play cup pong, just to avoid the question."
What would your response be? Scroll down to see the various hilarious ways that guys dealt with this (kinda cruel but funny) experiment, and let us know what you think in the comments!

"peep" and "out" are two words that I dont understand the anatomical context of
My naem is dog () haev special trick () I sniff buzzz boyes() tell if dey sicc() ()()()()()()() my hoom make me() protecctiv soot() so angryflies() cant sting my snoot() ------------- (the poem in the picture)
I imagine some of these woman doing it for laughs, then panicking when they get responses like this
Are you dating the Fourth Joseph Dagnino, as in a royal name or are you at the fourth Joseph Dagnino as in you dated the other 3 too?

You can call me stiff or humorless but for me it does not look like a funny joke. Ok, some of these boys and men actually found it funny. Good for them. Still, I can't help but think about all these scared or angry. Or those who were happy and ready to do it, because they always dreamed about a big family - what would you say after this? "Sorry, I was just kidding?" That is just awkward. And cruel. I don't think "having a baby" is something that you can acquire "just because" in a spure of moment. This is very important decision which should be preceded by a discussion. That is just dirty playing with other person's feelings.
I really don't get this. Some of these men seemed really happy and excited to start a family, and it seems a little mean to get their hopes up for a Twitter joke.
Ridiculous. A text is not the proper forum for a discussion on a baby. It's not like getting a goldfish. It's utterly unserious. What kind of responses did they actually expect?

If they are scared she can clear it up two seconds later with an explanation. If he gets angry at her for wanting a baby he has problems and she is better off knowing. If he does want a baby but she doesn’t that would be really sad, but I think a lot of these women really do want babies.
Yeah I agree it's a single text not a "fake" legally binding contract in which once you answer you're never allowed to change your mind about, of course you will later have further discussion about it.

I agree with you. But some of them seemed like they wanted one anyway, so they kinda combined the joke with the proposal, maybe?

I hope you're right. But it's kind of sad, if that's the case, that it took some meme for them to start talking about it.
