I have never paid any attention or thought any different whether someone was left or right handed, even in school, I had a few classmates who were left handed and thought it was so unique.   Must say, they had the most beautiful penmanship too.

Yep, us lefties are more intelligent, more creative, better looking...

 

Seriously though, although I write with my left hand, I use many tools with my right hand and am ambidextrous for many tasks.

 

My two older siblings were born lefties but the oldest was forced to write right-handed in the 50's.

I am the only left handed person in my family. However, oddly enough,  a couple of things I do right handed are throwing a ball and bowling!

I’m not ambidextrous, nor is my husband, however my husband who served 35 years in U.S. Army Special Operations used his right hand to fire his weapons, I did asked him why he did/does that and he said: “ it just feels right”.

 

I actually didn’t realize until thinking about it that I do use my right hand to slice, stir, and many other things.

 

Again, neither my husband and I are ambidextrous (i.e. you can do everything with one hand equally with the other), however in many things we actually use our right hand.

According to my 13 years old grand son, you’re as weird as my husband and I. Congrats!

 

Yeah, though I’ve never thought about it, I do a few things right handed too.

I never knew being left handed was a big deal. One of my brothers is left handed and that always just been normal to him and the rest of us.

That might be it, but he may not want to spend any time with us after this: My husband went to a costume shop and bought two silicone eyes and we each put one on our forehead and sent him a picture saying:

 

Dear David,

 

                  Now that you know the dark secret that we’re left handed, we have something else to tell you.

I'm left-handed too. In first grade they tried to make me write with my right hand.  Needless to say that attempt didn't last long! I've never understood why it was a big deal and it was considered wrong.
