Our Obsession With Social Media Grandmas, Explained

"Lately, for reasons not entirely clear to my middle-aged mind, I've been flooded with memories of my grandmother," writes Suzanne Zuckerman in a lovely piece today. "She was magic. She spoke multiple languages and lived all over the world. Once, in Egypt, customs officers confiscated her cigarettes. She was always flying off to visit her best friends in Portugal. Her nails were usually painted a deep, sparkly pink. Her rings were enormous— like Ring Pops, but real."

And it's got her thinking about the popularity of grandmas on social media. In the link she explores their appeal and their magic. Check it out.
