Truly priceless reaction from expectant grandparents

(CBS News) I imagine learning you're about to become a grandmother is an emotional moment. But for some, it appears to be much more emotional than others. Expectant parents, Ashley and Michael, tell soon-to-be grandparents, Carl and Hope, about the upcoming bundle of joy above, and their reaction is absolutely amazing. One tip before watching (and spoiler): if you're listening with headphones, you may want to turn down the volume a bit or risk a nasty case of tinnitus.

The video posted by YouTube user Michael Krauter apparently takes place at Carl's 60th birthday, and shows him opening a present containing a pair of "'Grandpas' shoes" and a sonogram. And then Hope realizes what it means! If I added up all the emotions I've had in the entire course of my life into one giant feeling, it probably still wouldn't come close to Hope's level upon learning that she's going to be a grandmother. I can't even decide what the best part of this video is: the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" expression on Hope's face right before she gets it and screams, Carl's determination to finish reading the card despite her subsequent reaction to the news or the dog who does not know what is going on and wants nothing to do with any of it. All I do know is that I couldn't stop smiling this entire video. Congratulations go out to Ashley, Michael, Carl and Hope from all of us here at The Feed for this wonderful video and news!
