Meet Flossie Dickey, an Unimpressed, Pie-and-Whiskey-Loving 110-Year-Old Who's Our New Hero

http://www.people.com/article/flossie-dickey-110-year-old-woman-hero

Flossie Dickey seems like she's too good to be true, but she's very real.

The 110-year-old was the main point of one of those local news segments where the extremely chipper anchor goes to a local nursing home and interviews their oldest resident, in this case, Cheney, Washington's Dickey.

Flossie, who's lived too long to mince words, wasn't having it. A sample of her interview: "My grandkids, they say there's 50 of them. I don't know."

And the pie-and-whiskey-loving centenarian apparently kept falling asleep before her interview, according to KHQ's Nichole Mischke. "How do you think you'd feel if you were 110?" Flossie told her.
