I'm from Eastern Europe, a country where there's no such tradition.

I'm currently in the US, and my friend was throwing a baby shower for her cousin. I didn't think to google what it was and assumed she'd already given birth. So, I thought it's some weird American tradition where you have to bathe a baby for the first time.

I thought it was really weird, but I didn't ask because I didn't want to be rude. I brought some baby shower gel as a gift, thinking I was doing everything right, but then I came home and saw she was pregnant.

I had a 404 error in my brain, and now her relatives are making fun of me. I really thought it was like you come and they bathe the baby for the first time, symbolizing the beginning of something or milestone, but I didn't understand why they would invite a bunch of people, including those you don't know.

TL;DR: I took the "baby shower" literally and now my friend's relatives are laughing at me. I feel extremely dumb

Probably my own kid. Penalty shootout at his primary school sports day, he would have been maybe six, and he scored a goal. Every other kid just returned to their place in line, win or lose. Not my guy.

No, he followed it up with a flat-out lap of the pitch with his shirt over his head and then a massive knee slide towards the crowd, like it was the World Cup. It was genuinely funny and everyone was in stitches but at the same time I was like 'Dear God, what am I raising??'
