Did I just hear that correctly?

Some back-story: I was married twice before I met my current wife. The first two wives expected their husband to be a very manly man. They might have thought the Marlboro Cowboy wasn't masculine enough. My current, and hopefully my last, wife knows all about my feminine side. She has helped me choose the name Emily, encourages me to love myself for who I am, and helps me shop for clothes. She'll tease me sometimes in a very kind, loving way--little inside jokes, whispers in public about a cute outfit someone is wearing, etc. We have been together for three years and got married last spring. So, on to the topic discussion.
I think it would be fun to share times when we heard something that sounded like a CD/TG related issue, but really wasn't. Please tell the first thing that went through your mind, and your reaction to it. I'll go first:
During our first year of dating, my wife mentioned to me that her cousin, and the cousin's husband, were having a "Gender Reveal Party." The first thing that went through my mind was, "Which one is transgender, and am I going to be outed to the future in-laws?" When I realized it was to reveal their unborn baby's gender, I was very relieved, then went into a giggle-fit. My wife and I now smile and wink every time we hear "gender reveal."
PS - My son and his fiancee are having a gender reveal party for their baby in two weeks, and now I'm wondering how they'll really know the gender until the baby is able to talk.
