He raised the glass of juice to his mouth, but stopped, and set it back down next to his coffee and breakfast. After a minute of adjusting everything and making sure the lighting was right –“Natural light is superior, Grandpa.” –he used his phone to take a sixty-second video.

“I don’t understand why anyone finds this interesting,” he had said when it first began. “Seems ridiculous.”

“You have almost a hundred thousand followers, Grandpa. You’re viral! They love you!”

Social media was stupid. Real stupid.
​
But he videoed his meal, told a story, and loaded it to the Tiky-Toky app.

It makes no sense, but that is how it goes these days. I love how grandpa just rolls with it, but I guess that’s why he has so many followers!

Excellent story for the photo - and you captured some social layers here because for some reason - some folks do have this many followers with that type of content and it puzzles many of us ... hmmm
