So I decided to drive to Rocket Fireworks to purchase some confetti cannons for a gender reveal party instead of purchasing online. I asked for, and purchased 3 PINK cannons. The employee was a young man who went to grab the 3 cannons I had requested. Upon check out, I asked him to make sure it's correct and he chuckled, glanced at the cannons and said yes good to go.
As the only person who knew the gender of the baby and was solely responsible for the task of purchasing these pink cannons, I was super excited. Let's fast forward - It's Gender Reveal time!!! All 3 cannons were ready for the big reveal. We followed the instructions and on a countdown, all 3 of us popped the cannons in front of friends and family who were anxiously waiting and filming of course. TO MY HORROR, on the count of 3, I looked up to see both pink AND blue confetti flying in mid air. There was a pregnant pause as the parents of the baby looked at me with confusion. The guests were all looking at me wide-eyed and wondering was it twins? No. No. No.
Turns out the employee gave me 2 pink cannons and 1 blue cannon. I wished he would have double checked all the cannons. I felt TERRIBLE for ruining a such a special moment, plus my embarrassment was caught on camera. I'm pretty sure some of the guests left the party not knowing if it was a girl or boy. SIGHHHHHHH. The employee made an error and #GenderRevealFail became my fault.
