Sometimes I think it’s really easy for us youngsters to take the older generations for granted. We think of them as frail, senile, and fragile while they probably think of us as unstable, wild, and reckless – both of which are probably true. There are times when both parties surprise you; in this case we have a couple of old guys bustin’ a move.
Who says that ALL old people are dry and boring, just take a look at Betty White; she is one of the feistiest old people out there and everyone loves her. A few months ago people said 2010 is the year of Betty White, but I think it’s just the year of really sweet old people who love to do crazy things.
I think these videos are the way old people say ‘I still got it’ and not in an embarrassing manner like dressing twenty years younger than they should. For this I think I speak for the entire generation of younger people by saying, thank you for keeping us entertained… even into those crazy senile years. I personally aspire to be just like you when I’m 85. Luckily for us, children are starting everything a little bit earlier these days.
Here are two separate grandpas getting their dance on in very public places with no shame and from the looks of it the hip replacement he got last Christmas is working out just fine. Just one question.. I wonder if they do parties?
