    Ten Ways Your Dad Was Cool Before You Were

    Think you’re cooler than your Dad. Think again? Some trends have been around longer than you might think...

    1. Got swagger? Whatevs. Your dad did first.

    2. The kickflip. He invented it.

    3. The BMX? That too. Sorry.

    4. Those Air Jordans you’ve got? Fresher in the 80s.

    5. But hey. At least we’ve got the Old Spice guy.

    6. 3D glasses. Never going to be cool.

    7. Impressing the ladies? Your Dad did that.

    8. Worked then. Works now.

    9. Hot. Like your Dad.

    10. It’s good being young. Most of the time.

    (Sorry – that bit doesn't get much better)
