Apparently This Matters: Instagram's favorite grandma

. 

Even at 80 years old, it didn't take long for Grandma Betty to figure out duck face and peace signs

"It wasn't us."

It all started about three months ago when 18-year-old Zach Belden, a high school senior in Jeffersonville, Indiana, decided to start documenting the final days, months, and (hopefully) years of his great-grandmother, Betty Jo Simpson. Grandma Betty has lung cancer. She was diagnosed in December. She's 80."Many of my friends knew Grandma," Belden told me. "And it was a neat way to connect her to them."

         Amazingly, after about a week, Grandma Betty had nearly 100 followers. And because she's pretty much the cutest thing walking the planet -- sorry, sloths -- her account quickly caught on even more with people who had never even met her.Amazingly, after about a week, Grandma Betty had nearly 100 followers.
