I just colored my hair blue. I bought a new dress for the easter weekend. I will be going out of town for spring break. I have a new car that my mom gave me. I turn 29 years next week.
Speaker 2
I am a vegan. I love animals. I used to be a veterinarian, but I quit to travel abroad. I sing for a living. I like to blog.
Speaker 1
I am turning 29 soon. I am going to the beach this spring break. My mom bought me a new car.
Speaker 2
I am 97. I am a vegan. I am going to hunt animals and eat them this spring break. I change between being vegan and not second to second. My mom bought me a tomato. I don't like talking.
Speaker 1
Hi. I'm turning 29 soon. How old are you?
Speaker 2
I'm 97 and I am vegan.
Speaker 1
Wow. That's great. What are you doing for spring break.
Speaker 2
I'm going to hunt animals and eat them..
Speaker 1
I'm going to the beach. I thought you were vegan?
Speaker 2
It comes and goes I change from second to second..
Speaker 1
I'm driving to the beach in my new car my mom bought.
Speaker 2
Oh ok I'm driving a tomato my mom bought me..
Speaker 1
I'm going to wear a new dress I bought for easter.
Speaker 2
That sounds so interesting... Wow.
Speaker 1
What else do you do?
Speaker 2
I don't do talking but here we are..

Speaker 1
Are you feeling vegan or not vegan today?
Speaker 2
I'm feeling not vegan today.  I might eat a cheeseburger if someone brings me one.
Speaker 1
Maybe you can swing through a drive through in your tomato! I was wondering, were you joking about the tomato? Or is tomato a nickname for your car?
Speaker 2
I was joking about a red Beetle my mom bought me decades ago.  It looked like a tomato so that's what we called it.  Did you make it to the beach?
Speaker 1
That's hilarious! I call my car Christine, like the Steven King novel. Christine got me to the beach in record time, but I ended up leaving early because the weather turned. I found an awesome vegan restaurant on the way home though that made me think of you.
Speaker 2
I'm glad to be in your thoughts.  I don't think I've been to the beach in 48 years.  I don't think I'll get there again.
Speaker 1
There's still a good amount of time left of my Spring Break, so I'll probably head back out to the beach again in a few days. I'm not too disappointed about it. You should try to head out to the beach as well, the sun might do you some good. Or maybe you get enough sun on your hunting trips? I've never been hunting.
Speaker 2
I get most of my vitamin D from pills now.  Most of what I do at 97 is take pills.  There are so many of them I don't know what any of them do, but I figure if I stop taking them I'll melt or something, so I take them all.
Speaker 1
Do you live on your own? I could never remember to take all those pills by myself and I'm not even 30 yet.
Speaker 2
I do but I have a nurse who comes and checks on me every day and puts my pills in one of those dispenser things.  It takes her about 40 minutes to organize the pills each morning.
Speaker 1
I'm really impressed! Sometimes I feel like I'm still trying to figure out how to take care of myself. Do you get lonely? Or are you happier being independent?
Speaker 2
I mostly like being alone but it would be nice to have some real female company once in a while.  My nurse isn't very warm.

I am 97. I am a vegan. I am going to hunt animals and eat them this spring break. I change between being vegan and not second to second. I don't like talking. I have a car. My mom bought me it long time ago. This is the red Beetle.  I call it ''tomato''. I've been to the beach in 48 years. I get most of my vitamin D from pills now. Most of what I do is take pills. I don't know what any of them do, but I figure if I stop taking them I'll melt or something, so I take them all. I have a nurse. It takes her about 40 minutes to organize the pills each morning.

Speaker 1
Oh, it is so childlish, but I can't wait for Easter in order to wear my new dress
Speaker 2
That's not childish!  Even at 97 I still like to dress up and look pretty!  
Speaker 1
That's so awesome! It makes me less scared about getting older!
Speaker 2
Just always try to enjoy every minute of your life!  That's what I try to tell my nurse too. She's such a cranky girl.
Speaker 1
Haha is her attitude still bad? Is there any way you can get a new one?
Speaker 2
Nah, I'll just whip her into her shape like I did my 4 husbands!
Speaker 1
Wow! What happened, did you scare them away haha?
Speaker 2
No, they all passed away after long happy marriages.  I play for keeps! haha.  Makes my current boyfriend a little hervous though!
Speaker 1
Good lord, you just won't quit! I'm impressed! What's this beau like?
Speaker 2
Well, he's kinda shy.  And he's only 86. My sister keeps telling me I'm a cradle robber, but I like em young!
Speaker 1
Haha a regular spring chicken! How old is your sister, and how did you meet this guy?
Speaker 2
She's 98. She thinks because she's a year older she always knows best.   I met him the last time I went hunting.  He was lost in the woods.

I have a new boyfriend. I prefer younger men. I found my current boyfriend in the woods while I was hunting because he was lost. I am a year younger than my sister.
Speaker 1
My older sister came over to see my new dress and says it makes me look fat. Ugh, I hate older siblings! 
Speaker 2
What? That is so rude! I am sure you look great in it! Why would she say that? Have you always had a relationship like this?
Speaker 1
Pretty much. She's always been mean spirited no matter what my parents did to try and stop it.  Some people just have stronger demons I guess.
Speaker 2
I totally understand. Well you should just ignore her, she is probably just jealous. How old is your sister? Does she have a husband or kids?
Speaker 1
She's 32 and yes she has two boys. They're the biggest reason I put up with her nonsense. I love them to death.
Speaker 2
I hope she is nicer to her kids. Luckily she doesn't have a daughter to call fat. How old are your nephews? They must be so cute!
Speaker 1
The youngest just turned 12 and the oldest is about to be 14. I don't know where all the time went. I swear they were just babies a minute ago.
Speaker 2
Oh wow, your sister had them young! Have you thought about getting married or starting a family yourself?
Speaker 1
Not at the moment but I think if I ever do have kids I would want to adopt. Did you ever have kids?
Speaker 2
You better believe with 4 husbands I popped a few babies out haha! I have 6 kids, and I have lost track of the grandkids and great grandkids! It's hard to remember all their names.
Speaker 1
I bet. My dad is 1 of 13. I have 31 first cousins and 29 are from his side alone. That doesn't include their kids either.lol
Speaker 2
Wow, are you close with your extended family? Those must have been fun family gatherings growing up!

I have six children. I have a lot of grandchildren.
Speaker 1
My nephews came over to visit, and when I took them to the park to play my 12 year old nephew said the funniest thing and I can not wait to share my laughs with you!
Speaker 2
I'm sure it was wonderful to see them! Did he mean to be funny? Or was it just accidentally funny?
Speaker 1
Probably accidentally funny...actually you probably had to be there haha. It was nice spending time with them without my mean sister haha. They agree she's mean, though I would never speak ill of their mother in front of them.
Speaker 2
That's a good rule to have for yourself. I know my kids were always bickering back and forth but they seem to get along now as adults with children of their own. Or maybe they just don't tell me about their arguments anymore. Maybe you and your sister will get along better the older you get.
Speaker 1
I would have thought that time would have already come. I think our personalities are just too different, and always fighting for our parents' affection. Do you feel like you love all your children equally or do you have a favorite?
Speaker 2
Haha, what a question! But at my age I can be honest about it. I love all of my children but some are easier for me than others. And my favorites change frequently, generally based on who's coming to visit me the most and who's not bothering with small problems. 
Speaker 1
That's a good point. I imagine being a grandparent is more fun than a parent, you get to be there just for the fun stuff. That's how I feel about my nephews.
Speaker 2
Exactly! It's all of the fun but none of the hard work. Unfortunately I'm to age where it's hard to keep up with my grandkids, they're almost all grown now and have busy lives of their own. But who knows, I might be around for them to start having children too. Then I'll be a great-grandma!
Speaker 1
That will be so wonderful if you become a great-grandma. You should arrange to have a photo taken of you surrounded by all of your children and grandchildren. 
Speaker 2
I would definitely have to do that! We'd have to find a space big enough to fit everyone. It's moments like that that I miss my husbands. Everyone is always talking about finding someone to grow old with and yet here I am growing old alone. And I tried four times! I think that's why I like younger men. I keep hoping they won't pass away on me. 
Speaker 1
You should just date men for fun now, who needs the hassle of a husband! I don't intend to ever marry.
Speaker 2
You're right. I've had plenty of husbands. Now I just want a fun companion. I won't try to change your mind about husbands. I loved all of mine and they were all wonderful in their own way, but there is something wonderful about not being tied down to anyone. Think of all the wonderful adventures you can have when you're not tied down!
