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.
