She’s Leaving Home


Wednesday morning at five o'clock as
the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom door
Leaving the note that she hoped would
say more
She goes downstairs to the kitchen
clutching her handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free.
(Lennon/McCartney, She's Leaving Home)

Maria Milz had just plain had enough of her new residence, so she moved out. It was boring there, the staff was rude and it was full of awful gray-haired old people. She can't abide old people. Perfectly understandable at her age.

Maria Milz is 100 years old.

"It was full of old people with grey hair," Maria Milz, 100, from Blankenheim in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia told the Koelner Express newspaper.

"On top of it all, I am a night owl. So in the mornings the carers would tell me that I still had sleep in my eyes. Who do they think they are?" she demanded.

"I packed my bags and moved back home."

I LIKE her!
