Hmmm? Isn't it? Banana?

Nan 100th Birthday

It's amazing really.

I went to a Birthday meal yesterday. My Nan was explaining that she thought the reason that she is so old is that she always had plenty of fresh air. She was never allowed (apparently) to have the window shut at night when she was young, no matter what the weather. She explained this theory at length.

My uncle and I sat there, and put forward the theory that she has lived so long because she is bloody stubborn, and the longer she stays on this mortal coil, the more she can play her kids off against each other and make them fight. She is as sharp as a knife for 100, It's all a front, this hobbling about and wobbly voice bit, believe me!

She did nearly spit her false teeth out when she blew her candles out though. Much to our amusement. There were, however, not a hundred of them, merely a '1' and two '0's that stood on the cake.
