A dad from New York pulled off an epic surprise when revealing the sex of his newborn.

Anthony Moneta faked out his relatives who were sitting patiently in the hospital waiting room.

Moneta unzipped his jacket to show he was wearing a blue shirt--a color that's so often associated with a baby boy.

However, Moneta's shirt read, "It's a girl!"

"My mom really wanted us to do a gender reveal but we didn't want to find out [the baby's sex] so I kept thinking, 'maybe I'll tell them in a fun way,'" she said. "I just wanted to trick them a little bit."

Daniella Moneta said she ironed the letters onto two different shirts (in case she had a girl or boy) one week before the birth.
