Woman receives congratulatory card from her grandmother: When she reads this, her eyes widen
Great Britain - It's about time: Gemma from Great Britain is already a mother of two despite her tender 22 years - but still unmarried. That is set to change soon, as she got engaged to her boyfriend this month. Accordingly, congratulatory cards have been trickling in to the young parents over the past few weeks. Among them was one from Gemma's grandmother (80), whohad made a curious mistake .
The young British woman only noticed the faux pas at second glance. But then she not only made big eyes, but also a video of it (see below).
In the clip, Gemma holds the pretty card up to the camera, first open and then closed. At first glance, everything seems to be in order. It's only on closer inspection that you realize what's wrong.
That's what happened to the 22-year-old, as she revealed in an interview with US magazine Newsweek this week.
"It was only when I compared it to all the other cards that I noticed it, and I thought it was a bit strange," Gemma explained.
But what was the problem?
Video with the curious map goes viral on TikTok
Instead of "Happy Engagement", the card reads "Happy EnGAYgement". This is a play on the words "gay" and "engagement".
But Gemma and her boyfriend are not gay. "I know my gran doesn't bother to read the cards," the mother told the news magazine. "She just likes the pictures, so she had no idea what she'd picked out," she added.
Nevertheless, Gemma knew how to use the hilarious affair to her advantage. Her video has already received more than 600,000 clicks on TikTok since mid-November.
Gemma is now just as happy about the funny card as she is about the viral hit it has become.
So in the end, her grandma got everything absolutely right with her little mistake.
