AN expectant mum from North Caloocan has taken social media by storm after she shared her hilarious conversation with her father, who mistook her sonogram for a satellite image of a super typhoon.
Social media user Camille Pearl Billones-Apawan could not contain her excitement as a first-time mum as she eagerly shared the result of her ultrasound with her loved ones on Sunday.
Her construction worker dad, Ronnie, is currently in Aklan, so Apawan decided to send him a snapshot of her sonogram via Messenger.
Little did Apawan expect that her father would interpret the image in an entirely unexpected way, mistaking the sonogram for a satellite image of powerful Super Typhoon Mawar, which entered the Philippine area of responsibility early Saturday morning and was locally named “Betty”.
As her dad extended his congratulations, he noted in jest that his other grandchild, Aki, now had a worthy competitor.
Apawan told the Inquirer in an interview that this was not the first time she had a hilarious conversation with her dad, who constantly cracks jokes and witty remarks every time they chat.
Apawan swiftly became an online sensation, with her post garnering over 98,000 reactions and more than 32,000 shares as of this writing.
Just like her dad, other social media users dropped their witty remarks after her post had gone viral.
“You made an announcement along with the typhoon, but he was expecting a different piece of news,” a comment read.
“Good thing your dad didn’t tell you that if your baby is a girl, you should name her Betty, and if it’s a boy, you should name him Mawar,” another netizen wrote in jest. — The Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN
