Unexpected Surprises That Are Probably Miracles

It was all so surprising, words escaped everyone
Others might've been faking it, or actually being serious
Some were like "Oh please, you might've been mistaken for someone!"
All she did was exclaim "Really, i'm not lying! You're all just really crazy!"

Something like this happening, no one would have believed her
To back up her statement, to prove she really wasn't a joker
She handed us a condom with a note
In small print, it read "Yes, it really is true. And yes, i'm definitely sober."

Everyone laughed, it was all in good fun!
Now that we all believed her, much celebrating was made
After all, you don't normally hear
That your prude of friend legitimately got laid
