Behind The Awkwardness: AFP Grandparents

You have to watch the YouTube video – it’s got this whole Taxicab Confessional ‘noir’ thing going on, with Nana in the foreground in shadow pulling at her hair, and poor Pop Pop under the overhead light in the background telling a very disjointed story about someone at the pool and a camera, and then at the end you see the reason for all the angst. It’s awkward GENIUS!
