A few days ago, the Internet was collectively heartbroken over this photo of a dejected grandad who had cooked 12 burgers in anticipation for dinner with his 6 grandkids, only for 5 of them not to show up.

People went a bit OTT about it, even issuing death threats to the absent grandkids, but the good news is they all finally decided to visit PawPaw the other night and have themselves a family reunion:

Look like a bunch of wankers trying to latch on to grandad’s 15 minutes of fame if you ask me. Dressing up their grandad in a “I ate dinner with pawpaw” shirt and trying to get Internet-famous off his hard work. Just a crew of attention-seeking arseholes, minus pawpaw of couse who has been as good as gold throughout this entire thing. Made 12 burgers for 6 grandkids just because he wanted to hang out with them. Just a regular, sweet, loving grandad trying to keep the family close.

I mean look at this guy:

Nice toothpick, dickhead. Definitely the “brains” behind the operation. Taking advantage of grandad big time.

Then these two:

100% stoned off their nuts. Just there for the burgers.

This girl’s like 11 so let’s leave her out of it:

I’ve seen some people say this whole thing is a set up but there’s no chance that’s true. No one could have predicted that original Tweet of the grandad would go viral the way it has. Plus look at the whole family — do any of them look smart enough to have that kind of foresight? For sure not.

Anyway, if there’s one thing this story has taught us it’s to appreciate our grandparents while they’re still around. Well, except maybe for this one.
