Are you a rightie or a leftie ? Inquiring minds want to know .

[Sunny]

I'm a rightie handedly, a leftie politically.

I'm technically right handed, I write with my right hand, but I do almost everything else with my left hand.

My sister is Left handed and when at school had the teacher try to force her to use her right hand by tying her left hand to her back... .My mother soon had something to say about that I can assure you, and my sister was left alone to use her natural left hand.

One thing I have noticed over the years that whenever I see a very talented artist..( that's any of the arts but particularly drawing or painting,) they are so often lefties... My sister certainly is a very talented artist , where none of the rest of us, her siblings or indeed our parents have any talent in that area whatsoever... what about you all lefties, are you talented in the arts ?

I am right handed and so is my husband and daughter. My son is left handed. My sister is right handed and has one son out of 4 children that is left handed and the same thing in my brothers family. 3 children and one is left handed.

My daughter's daughter is a lefty, her sons righties and both my son's daughters
are lefties.

I'm a North paw (right handed) .

 

[Shalimar]

My grandmother was left handed, she played by ear, as do I. Both of us poets.

I'm right handed.

One thing I've read is that if you're left-handed, it could have been at an early time of gestation, you were part of mirror twins--and one was right-handed and the other was left-handed, but the right-handed twin didn't survive. They know this because of there being twins where one is left-handed and other other is right-handed. They can't tell this so much with right-handed persons because that's mostly the norm anyway.

I'm a lefty as is my younger brother,our older sister is righty as were our parents. My brother's wife,also lefty,but their 4 kids aren't
I also experienced in high school not having a desk for lefty which felt strange.
I don't curl my hand either,but my writing does slant towards the left. In sports,playing softball I would bat&catch right handed,kick a football with my right foot,throw with my left hand. When I use to play tennis,I was taught how to slice the ball which gave my opponents fits,the extra ball always put in right pocket Sue

When my 2 sons were young and in their high chairs ready to eat, I always put their spoons in their

RIGHT hands. IF they changed it to their left hands I didn't do anything about it.

That was the only thing I did to TRY to keep them from being "lefties". Don't know if that was the reason,

but they turned out to be right handed if that was the reason.

It's a RIGHT Handed world and I didn't want them to miss it.

There are prolly 1,ooos of articles about it if anybody wants to read about it.

I'm a lefty. High school chairs were a pain. But my college had final exams in a large lecture hall. The one seat on the left side of every row was for a left-hander. I threw a natural curveball in baseball from an early age. My grandson writes left-handed and throws right-handed. His throwing is not very accurate but he won't try using his left hand.

I click with other lefties even before I know what hand they favor.

 

[Lynk]

i am right handed and so is my family.

 

[Butterfly]

My mother was left handed and she used to have a terrible time with scissors.

 

[Mike]

Rightie as all of my family are/were except my father
who was born left handed, but the school forced him
to do everything with his right hand, his writing was
dreadful, he used Knife and Fork left handed, he taught
me how to tie a necktie and I do that left handed.

That's interesting Olivia... I wonder if that's true . I was the surviving member at birth of twins... ( actually that's technically untrue..we were both stillborn 8 weeks prem , but they only managed to save one , so I wonder if my twin my have been a leftie , given that my younger sister is when there's no-one else in the family who are)...

 

[HazyDavey]

I'm left handed, my Mom and my Son were both left handed. I learned to play guitar right handed mostly because that's all there was around. Butterfly's post reminded me that I also had to learn to use right handed scissors. Now there's left handed scissors and guitars available but I couldn't use them now. When I write I don't curl or drag my hand, I write straight up and push the pencil.

Hi Butterfly,like your mom I have problems with scissors,feel more comfortable using my right hand Sue
