Grandfather

Many millennials automatically assume that their generation is way cooler than previous generations—basically assuming that the younger you are, the cooler you are—but that’s just not true. Grandparents might have been born in a different time, but they still have experienced and seen some pretty remarkable things. But in case you don’t believe us, here are 30 different photos people have posted that prove some grandparents are way cooler than we’ll ever be. 1.
