Pics That Prove Your Parents Were Cooler Than You

[rz]

I don't think my parents were cooler than I was... not that I would consider myself all that cool. Dad was a chemist, Mom was a housewife. My Dad grew up during the depression, so he did his darndest to make sure he was frugal with every penny. He'll be 90 this year, and is still the same. So while he had a good job that paid well, we didn't exactly have a privileged upbringing.

Even though I have lots of aunts and uncles, I've never heard any stories about anything "cool" that my parents did when they were younger.
