Not really an OY, but a wordplay. It reminds me of words that seem like they should have an opposite, but don’t.

Or convoluted, but not voluted;

disgusted but not gusted;

disturbed but not turbed;

preposterous but not postpreterous.

I don’t remember any books being read to me. I read to my daughters, beginning with Pat the Bunny, Goodnight Moon, Peter Rabbit, Where the Wild Things Are, and other classics.

How about you? What books do you remember being read to you?

Can’t I just use facial recognition?


Meanwhile, over in Gasoline Alley, Walt (who must be somewhere north of 115 years old) is having a dream and discovers you can’t even get into hell without proper credentials.
