Aria Shahrokhshahi asked his father to come down and look at a paper from school
What follows has to go down as one of the most touching (and hilarious) displays of relief and pride ever captured on hidden surveillance and uploaded to the interwebs.
The British father was filmed screaming out loud and bursting into tears after finding out his teen boy had earned a C grade for his General Certificate of Secondary Education.
"You're set for life, you're set for life!" he tells the youngster, completely unaware his every move was being recorded.
The son explains on his YouTube page that in England, you need to pass maths "to basically do anything in life". A year earlier, he'd been sitting on an F, so you can understand Pop's relief.
