Congrats, it's a parasite!

Congrats, it's a parasitic alien!

Gender reveal parties are exhaustingly overdone — from starting wildfires to nearly killing Grandpa, the heteronormative announcements can backfire beautifully. Twitter user @mskittenfish posted a video of a rare gender reveal done well.

But there's a twist: The baby is neither a girl nor a boy. It's a genderless otherworldly predator!

Instead of revealing pink or blue filling, this party was interrupted when a toothy alien burst out of the cake.

Despite the screams of the party guests, other Twitter users found the reveal party downright lovely.

Let's get rid of gross gender reveals and have alien reveals instead.
