She Lived for 300 Years?
Grandma Breckenridge, as we discovered, is not really 300 years old! She is a "Three-Century Woman" for having been born in 1899 and living past the year 2001. As we read today, we noticed that the interviewer, or anchor, seemed to be focusing on Grandma Breckenridge's past, while Grandma Breckenridge seemed to be focusing on the present: "I don't look back. I live in the present." Despite Grandma Breckenridge's live-for-the-moment attitude, the news anchor still wanted his eventful story tell-taling the past. Ultimately, what do you think will happen? Will the news anchor get the kind of story he wants from Grandma Breckenridge? Let's see what happens tomorrow as we continue reading!
