Are you left handed?

When we were kids, my sisters and I used to play board games with our toes. Monoploly was our game of choice; pick up and throw the dice, move our piece and pick up the card off the pile all with our toes. It would really freak out my cousin, she had really short stubby toes.
Somewhere there is a picture of us all when we were at the lake. We are lined up sitting in the water with our feet out and doing the Fonz "Thumbs up" with our toes.

Yup, we fought like crazy and are tougher for it. But now we are all really good friends

My sister hated left handed scissors. But she always had to start in the back in her notebooks, otherwise the metal would dig into her arm

I never considered this! My son is lefty and I’m always yelling at him to use notebooks in the proper direction! He’s never said it was because of the metal rings, and half the notebooks don’t have rings anyway. I wonder if there’s something else that causes him to want to start in the back of a notebook and on the back of pages.

My kids are just a year apart, so Irish twins, we’ve always had a method of refilling cups and plates and stuff, carry his stuff lefty and hers righty, that way you remember who gets which when they’ve been used already.

I do tell my son to never commit a crime, he’s a left handed, blue eyed, blonde/ginger, I don’t think they could even fill a line up in most towns with enough left handed, blue eyed, freckly blondes. He shows every indication that he will be well over 6 ft too, he certainly stands out statistically.

The ink smudges too if used the “normal” way.

Is there a story here like "Had my arm in a cast so needed to switch hands" or "lost a hand in a lightsaber duel and had to use the other one while they replaced it with my new robotic one"?

Its me, I have a story attached to me answer...

One of my old roommates burnt her right hand at the time they teach you to write, she couldn't hold anything in it, least of all have the fine motions needed to hold a pencil and write - so she was taught to be a lefty. Her penmanship was pretty bad as a result.

My Dad was in the service and had to write information on a glass wall backwards so the people on the other side could read it - on a ship or something like that. He showed us his "talent" when we were kids. I really took it to heart and taught myself how to do it because it was "so cool". It really helped when I was a tutor in college and found out that I could read and write upside down. Freaked out a couple of my students - one even made me sit next to her so she could concentrate on what I was saying and not on what I was doing. I saw her at a house party one night and she made me write upside down and backwards to prove to her friends that she was not lying about me being able to do that.
