Want to know how Jeralean Talley of Inkster managed to become the oldest person in America?
"Don't ask me," she told the Detroit Free Press, pointing to the sky "Ask Him."
Talley is 113, Elisha Anderson of the Freep reports.
Anderson writes:
Every morning, she drinks black coffee with a little sugar. Talley doesn't eat cheese because she doesn't like it and lives by the motto: Treat others the way you want to be treated.
"Her mind is good," said her daughter, Thelma Holloway.
