Hi there, so it's almost Friday here in the eastern US, and I'm ready with Friday's question


Are you left handed, right handed, or ambidextrous???

I thought I was right handed, even though I always preferred to use my left appendages for sports, I never felt worse off using my right hand for writing and eating so I never thought about it- but recently I discovered I may be ambidextrous after a left handed co worker of mine kept complaining about how she has to move this instrument to make more space for her left hand after every right handed person uses it, except for me since it doesn't matter to me if I use my left or right hand and I just use it the way she left it, which is to accommodate a left handed person, so it made me wonder if I'm really right handed, and I decided to try writing with my left hand and I realized I can do it almost as well as my right ...it was kinda cool to realize it.

I am dominantly left handed. My father was also left handed but physically forced to write with his right hand in grade school. I am stronger in my right arm but have more control with my left hand....

I write with my right but can write with my left and do everything else with my left hand. It confuses a lot of people, especially when I throw a ball and they think I am left handed.

ambidextrous - but I only use my left hand mainly for writing or eating - use right hand for most other things.

I taught myself to write right handed in school in 4th grade; just in case. I'm glad I did when I sprained my left hand a few yrs ago and had to write with my right hand for a week or two.

Hubby had to cut up the meat for me, but I just switched hands in eating and writing


One funny thing I noticed - when using the pc (use the mouse right handed) I can draw in Paint only right handed - not very good) but cannot do this left handed; on paper I draw totally left handed!

I write with the right but I eat and clean with the left. I carry packages and my son in my left.
