A woman has recounted a hilarious 'love story’ from school that left her ‘blindsided’ at the time, but which she can laugh about now. After telling how she was 11-years-old at the time, she said she had a friend who she had known since nursery school, with the pair watching a ‘Yuri anime’ film together, which as a genre depicts intimate relationships between women, including romantic love, intense friendships, spiritual love, and rivalry.
After the friends decided they wanted to be 'just like’ the characters in the film, they decided to date: “We dated in that: ‘Not exactly sure what romance is’ way, just imitating the characters in the anime. We held hands, hugged, never kissed because we thought that was going too far, but it was just lighthearted.” That was, she said, until an ‘incident’ occurred that left her ‘shocked and stunned.’
She recalled: “She text me one day in a frenzy telling me she was having a baby and I was the parent. Keep in mind we were both kids, cisgender girls, and had never had sex. Yet somehow, I bought it,” she admitted. “Her logic was that she had wished on a star for us to have a baby and that she had magically been granted a child and had to go pick it up. I was in tears thinking I was gonna be a teen mum and my parents were gonna kick me out.”

After her friend had told her she was in Ohio, USA, with the baby, who had a rare lung condition and might die, she told how her friend had finally sent a picture of the baby in the neonatal care unit: “It wasn't until years later I realised the picture of the baby she'd sent me was a baby doll underneath an upside down Tupperware container.”

Somehow, after this, said baby was never mentioned again and we went on with our lives as if nothing had ever happened.”
The woman’s post had Reddit readers in hysterics, with one saying: “That is actually so adorable!” while another commented: “This is hilarious. Kids, man. I especially loved the parts about Tupperware container and how you never mentioned your kid again!”
Another said: “Kids lie about the weirdest stuff. I had a friend who would lie about being in the circus for our entire childhoods – I believed it until my mum told me it was ridiculous!” Another jokingly said: “18 years later there's a knock at your door. You open it and on the doorstep is a Barbie doll saying: ”Mum?"
