A grandma-to-be’s hilarious and unexpected reaction to her daughter’s pregnancy announcement has gone viral, causing the internet to relate.
Michelle Lentz’s family saw the funny side of her wholesome response to daughter Amy’s pregnancy news – none more so than Amy herself, whose jaw dropped as her delighted mom ran to embrace her husband, Dom, first.
But the family wasn’t alone, with many people on social media relating, including one comment: “Oldest daughter with a doctorate in the medical field. My mom asks my husband for healthcare advice.”
Amy had told her siblings about her pregnancy news before a family vacation, but she and Dom wanted to tell their parents in person while on their travels.
Dom is a member of the band The Calling, and since he had recently returned home from tour, the couple thought a play on his profession would be the perfect way to break the news.
On August 30, while vacationing at Lake Michigan, Dom stood before his in-laws and said another tour opportunity had come up, which would be nine months long and the longest tour of his life.
He and Amy hoped her parents would immediately cotton on, and as soon as everything clicked for Michelle, she ran to her son-in-law to hug him.
The unexpected reaction was captured on video by Michelle’s sister, Mary, 33, who later shared it on social media and immediately went viral.
Other viewers said: “As the oldest daughter with a husband who walks on water, I see you girl! Congrats.”
Another: “My husband bought my mom a shirt that says ‘my son-in-law is my favorite child’ … and she wears it.”
And one other viewer who also related added: “My mom refers to my husband as her son-shine.”

Mary also pointed out that, by hugging Don first, her mom had more time to take things in with Amy afterward.
She said: “I thought it was so special and sweet seeing how excited she was.
