Man, sometimes you say something, completely kidding, and it ends up manifesting further on down the road. In this case, we can understand why the guy's friend had the initial reaction that he did. The dad had already been through the miraculous, shocking experience that is having twins, only to learn that he's about to have some triplets too. That kind of development will definitely do a number on most anyone.

    Text - r/tifu u/DeathclawTamer • 7d + Join TIFU by giving my colleague a nervous breakdown by predicting the future M Happened 2 weeks ago and concluded this morning Me and my collegaues have a 'good morning' call Mondays where we just have a chat about the weekend, talk about the football, rugby and interesting things we have done. All chat and banter going well when we start to talk about kids. Couple of my colleagues have twins (one has grown up twins, I think 23 and one, let's call him James

    Text - Roll on Tuesday and I was scheduled to have a call with James and he wasn't answering his phone. Within 30 mins his boss called me and told me that James will be off for a bit while dealing with some family issues. Cue today when we have our 'good morning' call and James is back on the call. We all ask if he is OK and he replies 'yes but I have some news'. Confused we asked if he wanted to expand on it.

    Text - A month ago his wife found out she was pregnant again, 2 weeks ago on the Tuesday morning was her 12 week scan. It apparently never crossed James' mind he could have twins again and went into panic mode after I joked about it on our good morning call. The scan came and it turned out he was having triplets. James went into a panic spiral as you would. He took some time off to get his head around it and then luckily had a week off for holiday to spend with his wife to talk about everything.

    Text - He is so happy right now but, rightly so, his initial reaction was to panic thinking about have 5 kids in the house. We are all chipping for him for a 3 seat buggy and so he can buy some baby clothes as he only has baby clothes for 2 children and will need another set for number 3. TL:DR I joked on a call my colleague could have triplets. Next day colleague's wife found out she was having triplets and my colleague went into a panic spiral as he already has nearly 1 year old twins. Edit: A
