The immediate response to pregnancy news is supposedly a delightful or joyous one. There might also be happy tears and emotions of the like. However, a reaction like this is one you never would have expected. A woman named Hollie Owers Horne (@hollieowers) revealed that her mum, Lousia, had the most hysterical response on learning she was going to have another grandchild. Her immediate response after the news was broken to her reveals that she knew what she wanted to say and how she felt. People can’t stop decoding and laughing at the reaction. Horne revealed that she was a mother of a little boy at the time she announced her second pregnancy, per Newsweek.

Louisa, as a parent of 6, had 5 grandchildren already. Horne knew that her reaction would be one that stood out and so she decided to film it beforehand. The mom chose to reveal her pregnancy to Louisa with 6 pregnancy tests. 6 pregnancy sticks were placed in line on a table and were covered with a towel. The grandma was asked to take a look at it. She was hesitant but her daughter assured her, "It's not going to jump or anything." Confused, she lifted the towel a teeny, tiny bit. Having had the experience of pregnancy many times herself and through her kids, even the tiny sneak gave away the news.

She let out a sigh and put her head down defeatedly as she smiled. Horne, expecting an unusual action, burst out laughing. “At least lift it,” she continued while trying hard to control her laughter. Speechless, Louisa raised her head and lifted the towel a little bit more. However, she already knew what was coming and simply held her head with her hands and pushed her hair back with the most hysterical sarcasm. "I knew exactly how she was going to react. That's why I was instantly laughing,” Horne noted. “Her reaction was absolutely priceless. I wouldn't have expected anything less,” she added.

"POV: Your mum already had 5 grandkids by 47 years old. She wasn't impressed by the 6th,” the text in the video read. However, Horne had to clarify that her mum was 46 years old and not 47 when she made the video. "She'll never forgive me for that, adding an extra year on,” the woman added. For those upset and worried that Louisa didn’t take the news well, there was clarity offered about it too. "Some people said she looked unhappy but she wasn't. She was soon out and about buying my daughter Gracie, now 1, lots of little presents and outfits,” Horne explained.

Several people commented that the moment was really hilarious and memorable, thanks to the young grandma’s unusually delightful reaction. Many young grandparents shared that Louisa was not alone in her adorable struggle. @boredkit said, “My grandfather had 15 grandkids and 16-18 great-grandkids at least. I’ve lost count of them.” @madisonlevett362 added, “She’s like, ‘I can’t afford this.’” @kezzastockman added, “My mom is only 53 and she has 14 grandkids with another two on the way.”
