Grandparents generally have really great stories to tell, and they usually have a handful that they come back to again and again. It’s interesting to hear about their lives and what the world was like when they were younger, especially because it’s always difficult to imagine them as teenagers or young adults.
But it’s important to imagine them that way and to listen to them and empathize with them because one day we’re all going to be old people telling younger generations our stories. For better or worse.
We already know we’ll never be as cool as our grandparents were…
Or as funny as our grandparents…
But we can still try! Earlier this month, @HeyMissQueen asked Twitter, “What’s a story you can’t wait to tell your grandkids?”
