Potentially after winning a third-grade spelling bee, or maybe after completing your first 100 piece puzzle. And have you ever wondered what a real-life smart cookie looks like?

New Perspective on an Old Fart

While it's certainly not the most considerate way to refer to our respected elders, it's no secret that some people refer to the elderly as old farts. Some old folks are offended by this term, but others have chosen to embrace it, truly giving the crowd a good laugh.

Like this lady, who dressed up as an actual old fart; Well, she's probably not an old woman, and just thought this would be a funny costume, but still, we applaud her efforts.

Given the digital age we're currently living in, between social distancing and modern technology, a social butterfly has taken on a new meaning, as it's adapted to new norms, just like we've all had to. So, these days, being "social" might just mean being active on social media platforms, like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more.

Modern-Day Bread Winner

Back in the day, in many traditional households, one parent was considered the breadwinner, meaning that they had a successful job and typically provided for the family. However, do you think that meant they also literally brought home loaves of bread?

Way back when, if people wanted to communicate with friends or relatives that lived far away, they had to whip out a piece of paper, physically write out their message, seal it inside an envelope with the correct address, add a stamp, and then put it in the mail. Hence the snail and the mailman.
