Look it up.

This one is dedicated to my sister, Bishop, who was married this past Saturday.
It was back in '74 or '75 ...
My sister claimed that she made up a new word to call my brother and me.
The word was "Oaf."
I told my mother of this claim and she suggested I look the word up in the dictionary.
The dictionary definition, and I quote: "A simpleton; dunce; moron. A clumsy stupid person."
I was four.
Or five.
Now get the rub:
My sister did not, in fact, make up the word, "oaf."
But she did call us dunces.
Kinda pyrrhic victory for her, I guess.
Tonight: POW!
See you there!
bye-ee!
bye-ee!
whrr ... clik!
