I’m a lefty..one of those “mixed hand preference”, in which they will switch off between hands for common tasks (switch hitters).

at school I wrote with both hands, and played softball holding the bat both directions..I kicked football with my right foot and have never had a problem with a right handed mouse etc..

I grew up learning to do things right handed where I could..My mother never told me I was “different” so I never thougt I was..

I was the only left handed in a right handed family but that didn’t stop my mother from teaching her “disabled” daughter the same things the siblings were able to do..

I learned to sew on Mom’s 1939 treadle Singer just like my sisters and made all my own clothes from early high school on..

My mother taught me to knit by turning her knitting needles around and knitting backwards so I did knit differently ..but I do knit, something left handers don’t normally do..

My only failure was in penmanship..I had nobody to show me how to hold a pencil/pen and my handwriting has always been shoddy at best..My mother had a beautiful hand and my sisters were good too..

although they endeavored to get my left hand to produce even graceful letters, they didn’t succeed...My right hand never felt comfortable in writing but the results were not that much worse than my more natural feeling left..I taught myself to write right handed although it did feel weird..

I click both lots of fingers and wink with both eyes..and I’m just as comfortable holding a tea cup in either hand (pinkies up)...

and I’m creative etc and musical and all te other wonderful attributes of the fortunate left hander..

Insanity ??? that’s just a dirty lie from jealous righties
