If your grandpa invites you over for dinner, you better show up.

Twitter user @kelssseyharmon tweeted a heart-wrenching photo Wednesday that appears to show her having a one-on-one dinner with her grandfather. 

"Dinner with papaw tonight," she wrote. "He made 12 burgers for all six grandkids and I'm the only one who showed."

Now, the Internet's heart is breaking.




Many tweeters volunteered to come to dinner themselves -- forget those lame, flaky grandkids.




And, of course, they threw some well-deserved shade.




Here's hoping this is all just a cruel prank. But if it's not, don't despair, Papaw. Looks like you have tens of thousands of potential dinner guests.
