OOPS!

Twenty-year-old Lucy Battle of Burnley, England, nearly threw out the baby with the bathwater ... er, with the sofa, recently.

Battle posted an ad on Facebook Marketplace about her sofa, with the caption "Need gone today," but she accidentally posted a photo of her 7-month-old son, Oscar, rather than of the furniture, Leeds Live reported.

"I just somehow managed to upload the wrong photo ... I didn't expect it to go so far!" Battle said.

One user commented, "Can I swap for a teenager?" But Battle isn't budging: "I don't want to give away my child." [Leeds Live, 12/1/2021]
