TIFU by jokingly telling my friend he was born on a laboratory

Submitted by JJJJPPPPP8A t3_109piug in tifu

It’s a pretty short story. This wasn’t really today, but more like for the lapse of some years.

Growing up, me and my friends had some strange nicknames, I was the stoner because I have a condition where I always have red eyes, my other friend was the fat one, and this other friend we’ll call S was the one born in a lab because he was all skinny and overall looked strange. We’re all are 15 and 16 now but at the time of this nicknames we were between 8-14. We called us like that while in school, while playing games and everything, and we started used them all the time.

Turns out S was actually created and in a lab.

Turn out his mom had fertility issues, so they had to artificially impregnate her

I think that’s why he stayed silent every time we told him that, we’ve continue to call ourselves this nicknames, but now instead of calling S a lab project we now call him goblin.

TL;DR i jokingly told my friend he was born on a laboratory till I found out he actually was

Edit: I accidentally put that he was born in a lab, he wasn’t

Don't feel too bad - if we're being pedantic, you were wrong. I'm assuming he was "born" in a hospital. He was conceived in a lab.

Personally, I think being conceived in a laboratory sounds far more interesting than "your dad spunked in your mum" anyway. And I said this as someone with one child and one on the way (no intervention with either).

I like to think it was some new clinical trial the mum was taking part in and they wanted her in the lab for the birth. Lab grown and born baby.

Imagine what a massive change it would be if babies could actually be gestated and born in a lab. How much it would reduce pregnancy-related death and disability. And the abortion debate would be moot because they'd just stick those suckers in an artificial womb instead.

That sounds kind of ideal in theory, but.. eugenics would become an issue. Really damn fast.

I would argue the spunking makes it more satisfying for the parents. While I was a bit nervous, the 1,5 years it took us for our first child had its benefits ;-)

>created and born born in a lab.

No, they were not "created and born born" in a lab, they were artificially inseminated and delivered in a hospital like any other baby. It's a medical procedure, not a failed science experiment. Great friend.

Don’t worry. We always joke to my cousin that she was stuck in a freezer for 3 years as an embryo.

He is the miracle science created. Telling him a Redditor said he is pure genius.

I mean... Your friend wasn't really made or born in a lab. A couple of cells may have been jammed together in a lab, but after that almost everything else was inside a lady human... You know, like normal. Lol
