At school, Bobby's classmate tells him some depressing stuff. Later that day, Bobby comes home crying and his mom greets him at the door with "Why are you crying?" Bobby says, "Someone said my grandpa died, but when did he die?" His mom looks him straight in the eye and says, "Depends, which one are you referring to?"
Which Grandpa Died?

The humor comes from the mother's unexpected response, which implies that Bobby has multiple grandfathers, and their deaths are so common that it's necessary to specify which one is being discussed. It plays on the idea of a complicated or unconventional family situation, using dark humor to reveal a somewhat bleak reality.
