I have seen again and again, after High School graduation, the son (usually takes up full time gaming, sans looking for a job, a place of his own or any other adult type activity.

Love it, grandpa seems so young... playing video games is a fountain of youth... hope he like the none killing games, too!! This is really getting his blood moving!
This is really a cute video....and the young person teaching the senior is sweet and patient for spending his time teaching.....grandpa's reactions are fun to watch too!
