Couple From Dublin & Cork Throw Accent Reveal Party For Baby

A COUPLE hailing from Dublin and Cork but living Portlaoise have joined a growing trend embraced by expectant couples as they staged an elaborate ‘accent reveal party’.

A step or two below the notions-addled gender reveal party, Dubliner Róisín O’Brien and Corkman husband Will O’Brien invited those closest to them to partake in a ceremony in which they would discover the accent their child would have.

“No matter the outcome, we just know it’ll be grating,” said south Dublin native Róisín, in an inexplicably Californian lilt.

“Don’t think I could handle him not sounding like his old man, bleating like a demented high-pitched goat,” offered Will, sounding exactly as described.

The need for the accent reveal party is more urgent as raising the child in Portlaoise raises the spectre of ‘slurry-thick culchie’ as a dialect.

“We’ll love the kiddo no matter what but if has one of those culchie brogues, we will love him less that’s for sure,” explained the couple.

Cutting into the cake Róisín and Will hit an audio chip contained within the sponge which played the accent the child will have.

“No, no, I’m alright it’s fine honestly, just the hormones,” said Róisín as she fled the room after hearing a mangled combination of ‘severe to strong Cork’ and ‘bog’ emanating from the cake.
