This story proves you're never too old to learn new things or to make new friends.

A 114-year-old Minnesota woman wanted her own Facebook page - but had to lie to get one!

That's because Facebook requires users to be between 13 and 99 years old.

Anna Stoehr wasn't about to let that Facebook age restriction stop her from posting updates and liking her friends' posts. So when she entered her age and it bounced back as invalid, she dropped a few years and claimed to be younger so she could join the site.

Now, Stoehr is online - using Facetime on her new iPad, and striking up conversations with people all over the world.

Her son says she's always been curious about the world around her.

He slso says that Anna is great with Google, although given everything she's seen and done, she could probably teach us all a thing or two about our world.
