When a grandmother was in her late eighties, she decided to
move to Israel. As part of the preparations, she went to see
her doctor and get all her charts. The doctor asked her how
she was doing, so she gave him a litany of complaints –
this hurts, that’s stiff, I’m tired and slower, etc.
He responded, “Mrs. Siegel, you have to expect things to
start deteriorating. After all, who wants to live to 100?”
The grandmother looked him straight in the eye and replied,
“Anyone who’s 99.”
