nate and grandpop go berserk

Out of the annals of great children's literature comes the tale of one hippo, all alone, who calls two hippos on the phone. In Sandra Boynton's classic novel Hippos Go Berserk, said hippo invites a whopping 42 more hippos to come over. As you may have guessed, the tale climaxes when all the hippos go berserk, wearing lampshades on their heads, standing on tables, and recreating other scenes from Old School. And all through the hippo night, the hippos play with great delight. Not to be left out, Nate and Grandpop have started to have their own party and, when they reach the part of the story where the hippos go wild, they too scream and wave their arms.

The berserk photo is PRICELESS!!! Grandpas rock! (BTW, I never knew how to spell "berserk!" As MY grandpa always said: You stop learning, you stop living.)

okay i'm sorry but i had to come back and look at this photo AGAIN because of how awesome it is.
The progression from...cool and collect grandpa and nate to completely out of control arms waving is just hilarious.
