18 Things We All Should Do (But Don't Because 'It's Weird')

1. Hang Out With Our Grandparents More Often

Don€™t wince, for there is nothing on earth cooler than grandparents. We see them sitting there in their wool knit cardigans and faded brown slippers and assume they know nothing of the world we navigate every day, but the stories they have to tell would set the hairs on the back of our necks on fire. Ok, so their bowel movements are more frequent these days and their teeth fall out when they eat a sandwich, but they've faced the toughest trials life can throw at them and survived. They also have the fantastic indiscretion that goes with old age, where they long ago stopped caring about the petty do's and don'ts of the world, and as such can teach us a thing or two about rebelling against social norms. Yes, it sounds strange, but our grandparents will be the most rebellious people we ever hang out. Which supposedly weird things do you wish it was more acceptable to do?
