Hipster-related comment of the week, courtesy of Aaron Mayfield-Sunshine:

hipsters cannot be 30 or 40 something. 32 is the max! after that you become a cool dad.

   Our first child is due 2 days before my 32nd birthday. So, uh, apparently.

   This means i’ve got exactly 7 months left before i’m not longer a hipster?
   How can i become a “cool dad” without any children?

   So does your kid actually have to be able to indicate you are a cool dad with words, or does a 6 month old’s giant giggling smile suffice?

   zinzin, I like that idea — we can trick the aging hipsters into providing us cool dads with child care…

   I am saddened by the lack of “cool dad” references in this story.

   Cool dads are the only way new hipsters get created. We are the future!
