Premium Member Left-Handed Lament

Premium Member She Can'T Be Left-Handed
She can’t be left-handed, my mother told my dad. Miss Kneeland, the first grade teacher says it’s simply not the fad. There must be something wrong with her, the whole family agreed. Look at her right now, 40 feet in the air, upside down in that stupid Oak tree. So they made me wear a mitt on my left...

Premium Member Left Handed Compliment
My boss asked me how old I was today. When I told him I was 60 he said, "No Way!" "Tomorrow I'm putting you on a lighter work detail," to me he told. "I had no idea that you were so frigging old."...
