When Bruce and Esther Huffman were given a new computer with a built in webcam, they had no idea that they would become YouTube celebrities. One day while they were trying to remember how to use their webcam, they had accidentally already pushed record and didn’t even know. While trying to figure it out they were already recording themselves! What took place next was a delightful, yet funny look into the humorous personality of Bruce and his sweet wife. First before we dive into the video let’s learn a little bit about the couple.
Just some background information about the couple, 86-year-old Bruce Huffman and 79-year-old wife Esther are both residents of northwestern Oregon and their granddaughter had the idea that they could use the webcam to stay in touch with their grandchildren. One day they decided to figure it out, which resulted in a candid take int this elderly couple’s life.
“I was trying to figure out how to do the videos and didn’t know the thing was actually running,” Esther told The Huffington Post. “All the while, Bruce was kind of amusing himself because he was bored. He was being quite an actor.”
Throughout the 3 minute video you’ll find Bruce making funny faces, yawning, singing, and burping. Bruce, who you can’t help but fall in love with, woos his accidental YouTube crowd with his goofy personality and loving intentions. Well…loving yet flirtatious intentions, especially when he says to Esther: “See how pretty your hair is?” he said, briefly touching his wife’s hair. And then for the stunner… “Just drop your dress a little bit and see your boobies.”
Esther, focusing on helping Bruce, quickly yet playfully ignores him: “Come on stop it. No, no, no,” she laughed.After they go on to comment about their wrinkles, wondering where the wrinkles in their forehead came from! I guess even the elderly don’t understand why we have to get old.
The truth found in this adorable video? In Bruce’s case, he has never stopped adoring their wife as they continue to grow old together. This video shows the world what an adorable couple you can be one day too while learning how to adapt to the changing technology that takes place! Also, don’t forget to laugh – perhaps you’ll end up on YouTube; in all honesty growing old no longer looks as bad as it used to.
