The Plinky question of the day — what would you ask your great great grandparents?
My answer: What’s the secret to longevity?
My paternal great great grandmother lived to be 106; my great grandmother, well into her 90s. (How many people can say they had a great grandmother until they were 17! Pretty cool!) My grandfather, who celebrates his 87th birthday next month, still mows the lawn, runs errands all over Orange County, and gets extremely animated while watching Yankee/Red Sox games.
I’d ask my great great grandmother, Nonna, as she was often referred to in my house as a child — what’s the secret?
