Today's On Point

she doesn't blame on her father (nuns, apparently).

depsite being ostensibly right-handed, I wear watches

on my right wrist, but haven't been able to write

legibly for, well, decades ...

 

Meanwhile, the aforementioned brother remains

left-handed (as well as blond and grey-eyed, all 

recessive traits in the family), and has since become

what I like to call "criminally insane," so ...
