inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 19 October 2022, tension.
A swotty young scholar from Wales,
At year’s end, he went off the rails,
When he’d done his exams,
I looked down at his hands,
And I saw he had no finger nails.

My "bump" was in 2016 when, aged 48, I suffered a stroke. This blog charts my recovery. (Header clipart licensed by pngguru.com.)

My mother would stick our fingers in rubbing alcohol to keep us from biting our nails. It worked.

In our house, eucalyptus oil was the threat. One of my brothers was a thumb sucker. The threat was discussed but I can’t remember if it was ever carried out.

Eucalyptus!? Burn, baby, burn! Almost as bad as oil of wintergreen which my grandmother drank by accident. She got it mixed up with another medicine in a similar brown bottle. 😳
