(135,425 posts)I say that because some people might mistakenly believe that this is just a "fun" video but in actual fact, it is so much more, which makes it entirely appropriate to post in this group.
It pushes back against paradigms regarding how "old people" are "supposed to" act and feel, and it challenges the expectations of people who mistakenly believe that a disabled elder with two canes is just that, and nothing more.
I'll bet gramps cut more than a few rugs in his unrepentant youth!
