My seventh grader is doing a science fair project involving "handedness". She needs a larger sample for her data. If you would like to help, please do the following: clasp your hands together with your fingers intertwined. Report which thumb is on top and if you are right or left handed. Thanks for your help! Standing outside the grocery store didn't work, even with tootsie rolls as a thank you. People were too afraid we were selling something!
Left thumb on top; right handed.
I wasn't clapping with one hand, I had a chili dog for lunch. Sorry.
I think it is really an experiment to see how willing folks are to do something silly.
Waiting for results!
Was it Captain Kangaroo? ..or am I drifting into the pleasant land...
Well, this was gonna drive me nuts all night, thank goodness I found it! Google led me to a lyrics page for Thumbelina, which states "featured in the biographical movie 'Hans Christian Anderson'"
AHA! It wasn't the good Captain, it was Danny Kaye! Here's the IMDB entry, Hans Christian Andersen (1952)
I remember being very, very young and watching it on the afternoon movie on TV. Probably haven't seen it in well over 35 years, but the minute you posted some of the lyrics, it popped right up out of the mists of time and embedded itself in my noggin, LOL. Memory is such an odd thing!
Left thumb on top, right handed if I am doing things with one hand, left-handed if swinging an axe or sledge hammer.
Right handed, left thumb on top.
right handed, right thumb on top. Feel wierd to do it the other way.
ambi, left thumb on top.
Right handed, right thumb on top. (left thumb on top feels awkward)
Right handed ,left thumb on top.
Good luck on the project....
right-handed, right thumb on top
Where is my tootsie roll?
Right handed....left thumb on top
Maybe to protect the hand they use?
I don't really know, just guessing.
Right handed, Left thumb on top.
Right handed, left thumb on top
Left thumb, right handed. I should note that I have a vague memory of my kindergarden teacher forcing me to write right handed. I shoot left handed.
Left thumb on top and I'm right handed.
It's interesting. My fingers didn't want to clasp any other way.
Right handed; left thumb on top. I'm missing my right thumb....(just kidding, I have both) ;)
