Thread Name: right and left -- a poll
Subject: RE: right and left -- a poll
Oh, I am very definitely an other-left person. I can't do right from left even if I DO think about it, half the time, and I'll say one thing while gesturing the other, which drives people who can tell up the wall. All of my sisters are the same, and so is Mom. We all, and Mom too, dance around an ironing board for about 15 mn before figuring out where to stand, where to hang the cord, and which way to face the skinny end. I am also very right-handed, my sisters are all right-handed, mom is the kind of leftie forced (literally - hand tied behind her back and all) to learn to write right-handedly. She is extremely ambidextrous in most things. I have one very left-handed niece, one very ambidextrous nephew (of whom I think, as I do of Mom, as being really neither-handed), all other niblings are righties. One of my twins is a rightie and I think the other is neither-handed too.
