If you're anything like me, you are anxiously awaiting the arrival of April the giraffe's baby. You have checked in day in and day out just to be disappointed and outright shocked that April is STILL in labor. As I watch April stand in the same spot for one hour in amazement, I also find it pretty entertaining to read the comments being left on her video and have found some trends. Here are the 9 types of people that comment on April's live feed:
1. The people who feel as if they are helping April give birth themselves
"You can do it April, just breathe, just breathe"
"C'mon sweet girl, we're here for you. You can do it!"
"We love you April!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Wow you guys are so supportive considering you've never met her and oh yeah... she's a giraffe
2. The people who love to tell everyone what time it is where they are in the world
"Watching from the UK where it's 2 p.m"
"8:43 here"
Thank you for your comment and not making me look it up on my world clock like I wasn't even going to do
3. The people who are mad the live feed went out
"ugh! The live feed went out AGAIN!"
"*angry emoji face* *angry emoji face* *angry emoji face*"
"WHY DOES IT KEEP GOING OUT?!?!"
Woah let's calm down there, did missing those two minutes of this multi-day phenomenon really have such an impact on your viewing experience?
4. The old people who can't figure out if they are watching
"Who's April?"
"Now is this live?"
"Is my screen frozen or has she not moved?"
April is this giraffe we are all watching, it says live on the video, no she has been in that same spot for the past 4 hours.
5. The creepy moms who feel the need to share their own human birthing stories
"Hang in there April, I know how I felt with that huge baby in me, OUCH!"
"Let me tell you, when Tommy was born, I was in labor for 72 hours!"
"ooooooh girl I feel you, I was so tired when I was in labor and EVERYTHING hurt"
Thank you but no thank you. Let's keep all that to ourselves. Let April do her thing.
6. The people who are giraffe experts
"No, she's holding her foot like that because she's trying to distribute her weight evenly"
"Giraffe's will eat hay right up until they actually deliver, that's normal"
"She's showing signs of pre labor, it'll probably be another 30 hours or so"
I'm sorry but your recent google search does not make you a giraffe expert, but hey, I'll believe you.
7. The people who have made friends on the Facebook live feed
"Oh hey Judy, nice to see you back on here today"
"That is so funny Walter"
"Really Susan? I had no idea!"
Wow April is just so great at bringing people together
8. The people who question if she is even pregnant and think it is a grand Facebook scheme
"Is this giraffe even pregnant?"
"She doesn't even look pregnant?!
"I think Facebook is just trying to trick us into watching this!"
I sure hope not, I have invested too much of my life into this giraffe I don't know
19. The people who can't believe she hasn't given birth yet
"WHAT!! STILL NO?!"
"She hasn't given birth yet, poor thing!"
"OMG! I thought for sure it would have been last night!"
We are all right there with you Jen from Arizona.
No matter what category you fit into, or you're a person who prefers to just watch without leaving any comments, we can all agree on one thing, we will be so darn happy when April has that baby and we hope she read all our comments.
