103 years old and tweeting loud and clear
Think you’re too old to be using Twitter, the uber-trending social networking site? I have only three words for you.
But I’ll shout them out (in case your hearing aid is not switched on): “MEET IVY BEAN.”
Isn’t that just the most beautiful thing you ever did see? Didn’t you love the bit where Mrs Bean titters about turning down a marriage proposal from an adoring fellow Twitterer. Didn’t get her 103-year-old heart all-a-twitter, did he?
No. that’s because Ivy loves me. And I love her. But not like that, silly. I just want to take her her tea and shortcake of an afternoon. And give her a big hug. And, if she’ll allow me, a little peck on the cheek.
Aaaah. There’s no sweeter tweeter than our Ivy. Bless!

Realize that the older generations really have seen a lot, & still have a lot to teach. I wanted to share this article with your readers.

Nice, Gabrielle. So right. We can learn a lot from older people (tweeple) such as Ivy Bean. We need to spread new respect for the elderly… before we get old.
