Parents Use Their TV Reporter Voices to Turn Baby's Morning Into Hilarious News Segment
"Thanks for watching the Baby News Network."
When two broadcast journalists in Washington D.C. had a baby together, no one could have guessed that the parents would use the skills they learned on the job to cope with the stress of having a newborn.
Sprinkle in a little humor, and that's exactly what FOX 5 news reporter Jeannette Reyes and 7News In The Morning anchor Robert Burton did.
In a now-viral video, the two parents present their new morning routine as if they were reporting on hard-hitting breaking news live from the scene.
"When both of your parents are news anchors," Reyes captioned the post.

At the start of the video, Reyes burst into her broadcaster voice as she picked her newborn up and out of her bassinet.
"Good morning, Bella! It is 9:52. Hopefully you slept well–certainly no one else did–but we're not going to point any fingers," she said before she passed the mic over to her husband "for more on the weather."
"Well, JR, beautiful day outside as you can see," Burton chimed in using his cable TV cadence.
"Temps in the mid-80s, no humidity. Will we get to enjoy it? Well, if spit-ups, feedings, and diaper changes don't get in the way, we just might be able to make it out of here before midnight," he joked.
From a restless night with little sleep and struggling to soothe colicky screams, and an "explosion at the diaper station," the husband and wife duo were sure to cover all sides of the story.
The "Baby News Network," as Reyes referred to it, reached viral status on both TikTok and Twitter shortly after being shared.
Some parents commiserated with the couple's skit and reenactment of all-too-relatable events, while other online users seemed to have stayed for the pair's comedy, adding to it in the comments.
"That’s baby’s diction with be impeccable," one fan wrote.
Another joked, "She's gonna start doing the morning announcements at school in kindergarten."
Someone else shared that the video made them realize newscasters don't talk like that in everyday life. "This is literally how I always pictured anchors speaking in their everyday lives," they admitted.
