HEY! Season's Greetings!

Fox News wasn't on. I think it's because my grandpa actually had stuff to do. Today it was decorate the house with Christmas things. I happened to be home at this time, so I decided to help him out. After all, it's a rare occasion I can hang out with my grandpa without having Fox News in the equation.
This story is rather short, but it was really funny in the moment. My grandpa had climbed up the ladder into the attic to throw some bags of garland and lights down. As he had thrown the last of it down to me, I noticed my grandma had appeared in the doorway, just watching us. I could see she was searching for things to criticize my grandpa about. He made his way down the ladder, closed it up into the ceiling, and started to carry some bags out to the porch.
My grandma knows she is blocking the doorway, so she starts to back up... at .05 mph mind you. My grandpa walks up to her until he is nearly touching her and slows to her pace. I was on the other side of the room watching them move slowly for a super awkward 10 seconds or so when my grandpa finally says,
"You're in my way."
Just as there was enough room to pass, he did so as my grandma replied, "I'M SOrry!"
I then quietly passed my grandma with the rest of the bags full of decorations. It was one of the funniest moments of my day and Fox News wasn't even on.
