The joke’s on one Florida singer, who thought he was pranking his grandma with a silly holiday gift.
Jon Aro got his granny an Xbox One for Christmas, thinking it would be funny.
But now, he can’t get her away from the gaming system.
‘I got my grandma an Xbox one as a joke on Christmas and now she’s been playing for three days straight and I can’t get her to stop,’ he tweeted on December 29.
The Twitter world embraced Aro’s gaming grandma, and the post went viral with over 31,000 retweets and nearly 80,000 favorites
Aro’s grandmother looked hyper-focused in the photo he shared with the tweet.
She sits there, controller gripped in both hands, looking intently at the television screen.
Aro’s grandma looked comfortable seated in wooden chair with padding with a fan pointed her way.
She was dressed for gaming success, and comfort, in white, cotton shorts and a pink shirt.

His grandmother was even equipped with a set of blue headphones on her ears, to drown out all distractions.
The Twitter world embraced Aro’s gaming grandma, and the post went viral with over 31,000 retweets and nearly 80,000 favorites.
One company even noticed she appeared to be playing their game in the photo, and offered up some freebies to enhance the grandmother’s experience.
‘So glad she’s digging @TroveGame (pun intended)!’ the account tweeted.
‘Looks like she’s going to have a great New Year! We should be able to hook her up with some goodies if you message us her gamer tag.’
