Fetus tricks parents, hides male genitalia in ultrasound

By covering up his male genitalia, a 12-week-old unborn fetus successfully tricked his parents into believing he was a female during an ultrasonic examination Tuesday.

Though existent, the youngster’s private parts were small enough for him to be able to completely and utterly conceal them in a response to hearing the ultrasonic waves.Ultrasound technician Kathy Green had seen the trick before and knew just what was going on, but decided not to ruin the parents’ jubilation with the truth.

“Kid’s a freakin’ genius,” Green said. “I thought about dropping the ball to his parents, but they’ll find out eventually.”

The child—who may eventully be named Madison or maybe Azaliyah—would be the seventh child in the Elliott family, and the first female according to parents Scott and Janet.

“I told you we could do it,” Janet Elliott screamed from her reclined position. “I’m finally going to have a daughter!”

Though equally as convinced as his wife, Scott was noticeably less enthused.

“I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they come back next time,” Green told Cardinal reporters with a wink.
