That Moment When You Invite Melisandre to a Baby Shower…

This is the reason why The Red Woman doesn’t have female friends. And she’s not great with kids either! If you are a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll love this!�

In this very funny skit recently shown on�Late Night with Seth Meyers, Seth and his wife Alex throw a baby shower together with some of their friends. While it’s usually�expected that baby showers are supposed to be fun, positive and upbeat, Melisandre (played by�Carice van Houten), from hit TV series Game of Thrones, didn’t quite get the memo on that one!

When each guest�offers inspiring quotes about motherhood, Melisandre turns grim and advises Alex �to “Clutch your child close to your breast, woman, for the night is dark and full of terrors.” Oh, how doting.

After getting few pep talks with Seth, Melisandre�tries to be natural and conversational�by sharing her birth experience to a shadow demon…..

Then just wait and see what she gives to Seth and Alex as a baby shower gift! Priceless!!

Try not to argue with�her or she’ll set you on fire!

Melisandre could be telling the truth after all. The night is dark and full of terror… especially with toddlers!
