The View from 101

The book on living to be 100 reminded me of a discussion the seniors at our Senior Citizen Center had. They were talking about the plight of one of their members who can no longer attend because of problems with incontinence.

Mary, who's 101 years old, asked, "How old is she anyway?"
After some thought the rest said she was 85, last Fall.
"Well," said Mary, "that's too young to have those kind of problems."

It just goes to show, age is relative. We're all just kids to Mary.

Oh, just a minute, it finally let me make a comment!

If you still have this book, will you let me borrow it?
