What Is Cool?

What is cool often varies by age, but one group redefines what "cool" is.

What is cool? I guess it depends on who you ask.  Ask my 5-year-old twin nephews or their 7-year-old brother and everyone would agree that Uncle Tony is the coolest thing since Sponge Bob Square Pants. 

Ask my 16-year-old nephew or my 15-year-old niece and what you get is an eye roll and a sigh. Somewhere around age 13, I lost them. Something about being a teenager must trigger a hormone that tells them that Uncle Tony doesn’t exactly fit in with the cool kids.

I guess every generation has its own definition of what is cool. What’s one generation’s Fonzi is another’s Revenge of the Nerds. But sometimes you come across something that everyone can agree on is as cool as the other side of the pillow. I came across that something just the other day and I had to share it with everyone.
