Noun
crookedness
- The state of being crooked
- 1944, Emily Carr, The House of All Sorts, "Mean Baby,"
- She had cost me two tenants and no end of sleep, had heated my temper to boiling, yet, somehow I could not hate that baby. The meanest thing about her was the way she could make you feel yourself. One has to make a living and one must sleep. It is one of the crookednesses of life when a little yellow-haired baby can cause you so much trouble and yet won't even let you hate her.
