Overheard -- from a slightly allergic woman to a beloved cat:
"Go away. Just looking at you makes my eyes itch!"
"Wayward"? is short for awayward, turned away, from away following one's own capricious, wanton, or depraved inclinations : UNGOVERNABLE "a wayward child" following no clear principle or law UNPREDICTABLE opposite to what is desired or expected UNTOWARD " wayward fate" Synonym: positively, pleasantly contrary. It's a practice. Much more on my website: danielmack.com
