One American grandfather had made 12 burgers in anticipation of dinner with his grandchildren. So he would have felt more than a touch of disappointment when all bar one failed to show.
一位美国的老爷爷做了12个汉堡，期待着能与自己的孙儿们共进晚餐。因此，当最后只来了一位孙儿时，他觉得十分沮丧。
But fortunately the internet has mobilised to ensure Kelsey Harmon's 'Papaw' feels loved after she posted an image on Twitter of her grandfather eating one of the burgers. The original post has been retweeted by more than 84,000 users and favourited nearly 150,000 times within 24 hours of being posted.

The Oklahoma student Kelsey Harmon, wrote underneath: 'Dinner with papaw tonight… He made 12 burgers for all six grandkids and I'm the only one who showed. Love him.'
来自美国俄克拉荷马州的学生凯尔西·哈蒙，在照片底下写道：“今晚和外公一起吃晚餐。他为6个孙儿做了12个汉堡，但只有我一个人来了。爱他。”
Sure enough the image has provoked a collective outpouring of emotion from fellow Twitter users. Many have asked Kelsey to send their messages of love to her Papaw.
这张照片自然引起了推特用户们的集体情感流露。许多人请求凯尔西替他们传达对她外公的爱。

I know I don't know you or papaw but can you tell him that we (the internet) love him?' one person wrote.
一个人这样写道：“我知道我不认识你和你外公，但是你能告诉他我们（网友）很爱他吗？”
Some seem to have taken more extreme measures with Miss Harmon later posting: 'Papaw is ok guys I promise & he loves all grandkids equally, plz stop sending my cousins death threats everything is ok !!!!'.
但是有些人似乎采取了更为极端的方式，凯尔西·哈蒙在之后的一条推特中写到：“我向大家保证，我的外公很好，他对所有孙儿的爱都是平等的，请不要再给我的兄弟姐妹们发死亡威胁了。一切都很好！”
Some hoped to be updated on the saga. Kimberley Hendry wrote: 'I need to know more! Did the grandkids apologise? What happened to the rest of Paw Paw's burgers? Is he okay? I need to know'.
一些人则希望知道事情的后续发展。金柏莉·亨得利写道：“我想知道更多！其他孙儿们道歉了吗？外公剩下的汉堡怎么处理了呢？他还好吧？我想知道！”

另一位用户则写道：“现在他有45900个孙子孙女啦，我们都愿意和他一起共进晚餐，这张照片让我想哭。”
Her cousin Brock took to Twitter to tell people he had now gone round to Papaw's for a burger. 'Guys don't worry!' Brock tweeted alongside an image of his grandfather tucking into yet another burger. 'I came to Papaw's house and am having a burger!'
凯尔西的堂兄弟布洛克则告诉大家，他已经去过外公家吃汉堡了。“大家不要担心！”布洛克发了一条推特，配图是外公正在吃另外一个汉堡。“我来外公家吃汉堡了！”
He later added: “Papaw said he forgives me and wants all of you guys to know that y'all are awesome for making him famous. I asked PaPaw what it felt like being the coolest grandpa in the world and he said its nothing new that he's been the coolest one for a while.'
他随后补充说：“外公说他原谅我啦，并且让我告知你们，你们很酷，你们让他变出名了。我问外公，成为世界上最酷的外公是什么感觉，他说也没什么新鲜感啦，毕竟他当最酷的外公已经有一段时间了。”
