You are close, but there is a relationship.
@Smokin Joe Thank you for making my greater point, Smoke. Great post, which I agree with entirely.
I found myself on an anthropological hunt this last week or so...
I was sent some youtube vids about surprise pregnancy announcements -primarily where they were performed at large family gatherings - and the comparison was such that I went looking for a passel of em. Watching the reaction of the crowd to the announcement was an intriguing exercise, especially in large families with an obvious abundance of children - Though my observations were pretty uniform across the board...
The basic story is always the same - Some device is used to catch the family unawares, and ether they have to figure out what is happening, like a search for a present in the kitchen for the grandmother-to-be, culminating in finding a physical bun in the physical oven, as an instance... Or the surprise is blurted out at an opportune time - Like the family gathered together for a photo opportunity, and instead of saying 'cheese', Someone will yell out 'Melissa's going to have a baby!'
One way or the other, the resulting reaction is always about the same...
Usually there's a few moments of everybody clicking on empty chambers, trying in vain to make sense of the result (which is obvious as all get out), and usually one of the elder mothers hits a live chamber...
Suddenly there is an ear-splitting shriek of joy which is almost immediately picked up by every mother in the room, like they all caught on at once... I ain't kidding Joe, they all leap up at once, toddlers tumbling from laps, small dogs being punted across the room, Men with an 'oh shit' look on their faces as they try to get out front and away from the thundering, bawling herd, shrieking and cackling in some communication only they can understand, as they roar inexorably, a mounting and unstoppable tidal wave of estrogen and tears bearing down on the poor pregnant girl.
I don't know how she survives it, I'll tell you what...
Anyone can see how those women are centered.
How they could be buffaloed into thinking otherwise is entirely beyond me. I have been a long, long time in the workforce, and I can say with authority that there is nothing, *nothing* that powerful to be found.
