People used to write with pens and pencils a lot more. Enough of that can alter the hand a bit. But take that with a grain of salt. I've got no proof.

It never occurred to me that band-aids were supposed to be flesh-colored until there was a public debate about the lack of darker-colored band-aids. I just thought band-aids were band-aid-colored.

No, I haven’t gone in for my autism diagnosis yet.
