Oops! Facebook user congratulates friend after mistaking baby wombat’s pic as her newborn

Happily, she wrote, “OMG congratulations! He’s beautiful. I miss you so much.”

“He is the reason I have stopped and checked approximately 20 deceased wombats on the road near my home in the past five years,” the user’s post read. “This little boy’s mum had been killed during the night and left in the middle of the road on a blind corner with part of the bumper of the car responsible, only a metre away,” she added. How she ignored the long message was questioned by many but the bizarre conversation quickly went viral on Twitter.

The awkward conversation was shared by comedy writer James Felton and mentioned the exchange took place in Australia.

Finally, the woman did realise her mistake and commented some 8 hours later, “F*** I DIDN’T LOOK PROPERLY. I THOUGHT YOU’D HAD YOUR BABY. I’M SO SORRY. OMG.”

Tweeple couldn’t stop laughing about the conversation.

Lololol that’s almost as embarrassing as asking a woman with a big belly when she is due! I especially love the “it’s so cute” part! 😂

So many questions. Presuming they’re no longer FB friends?
