WASHINGTON 鈥� After 110 years, Flossie Dickey cannot be bothered.
Dickey, who lives in Cheney, Washington, was recently interviewed by a Spokane TV station, and the clear expectation was that she would be predictably adorable in her dotage.
Not even: Dickey clearly can鈥檛 be bothered with the attention, ignores a couple of questions and looks on several occasions like she鈥檚 ready to throw her coffee in the reporter鈥檚 face. When asked whether she鈥檚 looking forward to her birthday celebration, she deadpans, 鈥淣ot one bit.鈥�
A woman who works at the senior center where Dickey lives says that the 鈥渟upercentenarian鈥� is a jokester who likes to 鈥渉ave some whiskey straight up.鈥�
For herself, Dickey says that she naps as frequently as possible, and, asked for her secret to a long life, replies, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 know. I don鈥檛 fight it; I live it.鈥�
Because when you鈥檙e 110, you can鈥檛 help being cool.
