Grandmother Gives 5 Hilarious Tips to Living Life On Her 100th Birthday

— -- A great-great-great grandmother, known to her family and friends as "Ma," celebrated her 100th birthday Saturday and passed along some hilarious tips for living a good life.

Dorothy Chandler Collins, born Aug. 13, 1916, was feted by 200 people at Morning Star Baptist Church in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

It wasn't hard to invite hundreds of people to her centennial celebration. Collins and her late husband, Clarence Collins Sr., had 13 children, 51 grandchildren and many great-great and great-great-great grandchildren.

Having reached 100, of course Ma had some advice on living -- and it's funny! While getting her makeup done ahead of her party Saturday, ABC News asked Ma to pass along her insights and advice:

1. If you could go back in time, what would you tell your 20-year-old self?

"I would tell her, 'Tell boys to leave you alone. No boys! You're better off! Because boys make you mad, so you’re better off without a boy.'"

2. What’s the most important thing parents need to understand about raising their children?

"Be sure they don't grow up too fast."

3. What’s the number one thing couples should remember in order to have a successful marriage?

"Stay married! Don't be bothered up with anyone else because you’ll lose your husband [or wife]. Young people love too many people and can’t satisfy not one of them!"

4. Do you have any regrets?

"I wouldn’t have had all these kids!" she quipped. "I know better now."

5. What’s the secret to a long life?

"God kept me!"
