The art of a successful gender reveal is the element of surprise, but the only thing that’s meant to be unexpected is the gender of the baby.

It looks like this Knoxville, TN couple experienced a different shock entirely when, in the midst of their celebration, the expectant mother’s grandmother tumbled to the ground.
Call it chaos, pandemonium, or outright ignorant bliss, no matter what it was, these partygoers didn’t know that their chants and cheers would end in Granny taking a nose dive straight into the pavement.
TikTok Tumble
Amanda Huber, the then-pregnant mother, shared the video to her Tiktok account showing the events that transpired. The couple used streamer and confetti cannons to announce the gender of their baby boy. As the blue sprinkles and sequins plumed their way into the air, the crowd erupted into gleeful cheers. Arms were slung around shoulders and feet left the ground as partygoers leaped into the air.
In the height of the festivities, you see the small, elderly women step into the center of the huddle. She barely gets two steps forward before she trips over what appears to be the back of the expectant father’s shoe and falls to the ground.
Cheers stopped as soon as they started, with people in the huddle noticing the grandmother take a tumble. They wipe the glitter off their shoulders and rush to where the woman lay on the ground.
Some of the participants don’t notice, continuing to clap and cheer until the video ends.
Much Too Pushy

Commentators are butting heads, as expected. Some express how the video makes them chuckle a bit while others reprimand the couple for including Grandma in the thick of the crowd.
Several viewers are accusing the woman in the bright yellow shirt standing directly behind the elderly woman of pushing her to the ground.
Gender reveals continue to be recipes for chaos, and yet, people continue to host them. At the very least, spectators will get a laugh out of the hiccups.
