The Old Folks Home

[dsqard]

My ex is a lefty and when DD was getting old enough to start using utensils to feed herself he kept putting them in her left hand to try to get her to be a lefty but it was not to be. DS on the other hand, is a lefty. The ex was so happy when we figured it out. I am so glad that teachers no longer try to force kids to be right handed. DS never had to go through being told that being left handed was the sign of the devil or something silly. Now, the "666" on the back of his head is a whole other deal

On the other hand, my grandmother was left-handed and more than half of we cousins are lefties AND PROUD OF IT!

It's funny - left-handedness seems to skip a generation in my family, too. My mother's mother and my father's father were both lefties, and though nobody in my parents' generation is left-handed, several of my cousins on both sides are. When it became clear that I was a lefty, my mother had the sense not to fight it. I had an uncle who was determined that his daughter would be right handed . . . . the daughter who for many years didn't speak to her father.

Fathers eh ?
I was very short for my age, my grandpa bought me a two wheeler when I was 10. I tried so hard to learn - everyone took a turn at teaching me. But I couldn't do it. My father, who was ticked off to begin with because he never had a bike, said if I didn't learn by such and such a time he was giving the bike away. My father never made idle threats - he meant it.

I puzzled it out, I was just too short to reach the pedals. So I sat on the luggage carrier behind the seat and tried the pedals. Yay success. My father made fun of me for riding like that. Eventually I grew enough to be able to ride on the seat. But had to sell the bike the next year to pay for my new puppy's shots.

WOW Diva... from all I've read, it seems like you've had a pretty traumatic life! I suggest a prescription of twice daily ice cream, interspersed with movie viewing and napping.

Thank you I feel better already, tomorrow I hit the grocery store - I do hate it when the eating runs into my nap time but, sometimes you just can't have everything.
