Grandpa's response to the birth of his grandchild is incredibly underwhelming

Grandpa's are funniest when they aren't even trying to be.

Grandpas are often the kings of understatement and they all bow down to this supreme overlord of "meh."

A Redditor shared a photo Thursday of their grandfather reacting to the birth of his grandchild, and it sounds like the grandpa is just overflowing with joy.

So filled with joy that all he text say is "Ok."

Maybe the miracle of childbirth simply seems less impressive when you get to a certain age or maybe this Grandpa just isn't too text savvy. Either way, reacting to the wonder of newborn life the way you would react to someone telling you they're picking up groceries is pretty glorious.
