Gender Reveal Party was nutty

Things got a little nutty when Tom and Kristin Cressotti, with daughter Ella, hosted a gender reveal party.

They chose to use smoke bombs, which travel 30 foot in the air to produce great visuals.

Family and friends started counting down, the parents-to-be both released the blue smoke... Yay, there's a boy on the way...

Trouble was, Tom was holding the smoke cannon upside down, and it fired directly into his genitals!

This deserves an Honorary Mention, as although he has a child, plus one on the way, there may be no need for a vasectomy in the future!
