Look carefully at this picture. It is a grandmother and her five grandchildren sheltering in water as a Tasmanian forest fire rages around them.

Everybody, thankfully, survived. This picture taken by the children’s grandfather who believed they were doomed and wanted their parents to see them before they died (weird) has been seen all around the world.

But look at the girl with the sunglasses on, look how she has nonchantly thrown back her right arm as if she has other more important things on her mind and is saying ‘whatever’… well, she’s the coolest girl of 2013.
