Pregnancy can be a challenging journey, and having supportive friends who understand the struggles can make all the difference. Yet, sometimes those friends can bring a much-needed laugh through lighthearted teasing, just like Chrissy Parker did for her expecting friend, model and actress Samantha Lane.
When Lane posted a photo of her swollen foot on Instagram—a sight that would likely draw sympathy from any mom who has experienced similar discomfort—Parker opted for humor instead of empathy. “I can’t even tell where your leg ends and your foot begins,” Lane jokingly lamented.
Parker jumped into the comments, delivering a faux-serious jab that was both hilarious and relatable. “Wow, gross! You should definitely see a doctor!!! This isn’t normal,” she quipped, perfectly mimicking the overly critical grammar and excessive exclamation points of typical internet trolls. Because, let’s be honest, once a baby bump appears, everyone suddenly becomes a medical expert, questioning dietary choices like tuna consumption.
As if channeling the spirit of an overly concerned mom blogger, Parker added that she had expert advice to share if only Lane would come visit and comment! Lane, keeping the banter alive, deadpanned, “link broke,” to which Parker humorously suggested it might be due to too much traffic.
Then, in a classic twist, another commenter entered the fray, chastising Parker for her playful remarks, clearly missing the joke. “How is it that one woman calls another ‘gross’? I never ate tuna and swelled like this!” Oh, the internet—always ready to jump in!
While this back-and-forth was all in good fun, it also served as Parker’s clever response to the many unsolicited opinions she’s received about her own parenting choices, from her IVF journey to how she holds her baby. It’s no secret that the online world is full of self-proclaimed parenting experts, and many would understand her need to throw a little shade when the moment calls for it.
As for Lane, we hope she finds plenty of time to relax, along with a stream of humorous messages from her witty friend to brighten up her pregnancy journey, which can be quite a rollercoaster ride.
