“That’s how I roll”: Why this 97-year-old watches the same movie every night

We all have a movie that we could watch again and again.

And it's no different for 97-year-old Jennie Ball.

Marley and Me: The Puppy Years is her movie of choice and she has been watching it every single evening for the last four months.

How sweet is that?

Jennie lives in a nursing home in Oshawa, Ontario, where her daughter Marina Mueller visits her on a daily basis. 

Marina, recorded the now-famous video of her mother revealing why she watches it every evening.  

Jennie simply says, “that’s how I roll”.

Imagine being that cool at almost 100-years-old?! 

According to BreakingNews, Marina explained that, ''since cancelling her cable TV service, she has been watching DVDs, mostly from the second hand store.” 

“You’re never too old to be ‘hip’ and my mother enjoys playful banter and making people laugh.''

Wise words, and ones that we should all remember!
