"But that's not important right now"

When my wife and I were expecting we wanted to keep the sex a surprise. I used every opportunity to be a pain in the ass about it. "Do you know what you're having?" "Well we suspect it's human but I who knows." "Boy or girl?" "No idea, they'll probably let us know at some point."

Amazing how bonkers it drove some people. Can't recommend it enough for this reason alone.

Other good options

"Is it a boy or a girl"

"Yes" / "One of those" / "Almost certainly" etc

Or "Not necessarily" to leave the nonbinary option open :)

“No idea, they’ll probably let us know at some point.”

"Idk, maybe we'll know within 30 years?" was my response when my mom asked me to guess if our nibbling was a boy or girl and she just changed the topic immediately.

Already starting with the dad jokes before their child was born?

That's how you know. The pregnancy test is just for confirmation.

The gender will be revealed by an explosion at the gender reveal party when it is time.

Your religion doesn't recognize the gender reveal bomber?

I plan to do one for each of my kids when they turn 40.

Let them organize it themselves once they are old enough to decide

Wonder what they think when the smoke is just orange and full of glitter.
