Flossie Dickey celebrates 110th birthday, just wants a nap

This is one woman who tells it like it is.

Flossie Dickey didn’t ask for much when she recently turned 110.

In fact, all she wanted was a quick kip and maybe a nip of whiskey.

In an interview with Spokane’s Good Day, she said: “I just want to take a nap.”

Basically, Flossie is our spirit animal.

The Washington woman had a big party thrown for her by her family on Thursday.

And what a big family it is! Flossie has three children, 12 grandchildren, 20 great grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.

When asked if she was excited about the party, she said: “Not one bit.”

Well, at least she’s honest.

So, what’s the secret to her long life? As Flossie simply puts it: “I don’t fight it, I live it.”

“Her favourite thing, according to her family, is just to sit down and have some whiskey straight up,” said a woman at the Cheney Care Center in Washington.

Whether you want to celebrate the milestone or not, we’ll raise a glass for you anyway, Flossie!
