Who says aging has to be boring? Many think that you have to be serious and boring once you get old, but that’s definitely not true. Having fun should never stop, regardless of your age. Just take a look at this elderly couple posing after they had a car crash. The wife is still trapped inside, but they’re both smiling and actually look kind of proud of themselves. These are the type of elderly people who would enjoy a Dr. Seuss book.

A great thing about getting old is that you don’t have to give a shit about what other people think. When we’re young, we desperately seek approval from our peers, but once you get to a certain age, that stops being important. Look at this cool old lady rocking a gangsta t-shirt, she doesn’t care. If this reminds you of your grandma, make sure that she reads You’re Only Old Once: A Book for Obsolete Children, she will love it!

Growing old has its ups and downs, as Dr. Seuss illustrates in this book, but we shouldn’t take it too seriously. Even if you got no teeth, laughing is still the best medicine!

Some old people are simply young at heart and want to get in on all the new trends. You probably have that uncle who’s constantly sending you memes, or a grandma who’s always posting on Facebook. While the hero of Dr. Seuss’ book is going on an adventure through bizarre medical exams and procedures, some elderly people are skipping their doctor’s appointments to make viral videos.

This cool elderly couple decided to get in on the In My Feelings Challenge and totally rocked it. This is what you should do when you get old, not sit in a retirement home and watch TV until you die.
