High School Girl Took Her 80-Year-Old Grandpa To Prom And I Think I Love This Move Actually

KIRO – It was Joy Webb’s very first prom, so she didn’t want just any old classmate as a date. She needed someone special to share it with–someone she could have fun with, someone who would appreciate the whimsy of the whole event.

So, why not her 80-year-old grandfather?

“My family is everything to me, and I love him so much, and it’s just like really special to me because I know not many people get to do that,” Webb told WHNT. “I know he loves me and I love him, and it’s just really neat and special.”

It was a big day for “Poppa” as well, who donned his first tuxedo to the dance. And, this was his first prom too.

According to WHNT, in all his eight decades, James Drain has never attended the dance.

So you’re going to prom, what are the upsides if you’re a guy? You’ll probably get drunk, you’ll look dope in a tuxedo, you might get it in. If you’re a girl, what are the upsides? You get to wear a silly dress that should only be seen in Disney cartoons and you’re the center of attention to varying degrees (if you’re hot and popular, you might be Queen! If you’re not, hey you got to wear a nice dress and your family thinks you’re pretty). So where’s the downside for her here? She’s wearing her dress, she’s bringing her grandpa and I think we can all agree that grandpas are by far the best part of any family unless you’re in the Woody Allen home, and she’s getting NATIONAL ATTENTION just because it’s a cute story news stations can tack on after car chases, death, and fear mongering. This is literally the perfect crime for this chick. Not to mention the fact that she doesn’t have to pretend to enjoy the come-ons of some drunken kid who can barely get his dick through the hole of his pants without spraying jizz everywhere. Really, the perfect crime for a high school girl. Game recognize game, Joy Webb.

Also isn’t Pop Pop here looking kinda put together for 80? Like I’m not dying to get his old man taffy balls draped across my nose or anything but I’m impressed with how youthful and debonair he seems (when not talking).

PS Not to take away from this girl’s overall win here, but an Eyes Wide Shut style masquerade ball is a reeeeal weird place to bring your grandad for his first prom. She may have wanted to check the theme before extending this sweet offer.
