Hello everybody,
I came across an expression to show that an old woman is really old. I wonder if any of you can explain the literal meaning of it:
"she was so old she nolonger remembered any other way of being."
Thanks a lot

She was so old that she no longer remembered not being old. I hope this helps you. Bruce |
