I am a lefty but use the scissors with my right hand. Never figured out how that happened. I remember the teachers trying to give me left handed scissors in school and I couldn't use them, only knew how to cut right-handed. A few things I can swap either hand, but mostly I'm a lefty.

I am SO a righty! I even turn right when entering or leaving a room, store, building. Used to get me lost at the mall!
My mother's a lefty and that was hard to teach me things like crochet and knitting. (Well - it was hard when she did it right handed too :oops: ) Growing up I wished I was a lefty because she is so smart and I figured that was the reason why. It still crosses my mind that someone must be really smart when I see that they are lefties!

I'm mostly right-handed. I can sort of write with my left hand - looks like a little kid tho' :wink: My mom was one that was "smacked" into being a righty. One of my sisters is a righty, the other a lefty. I can use the mouse with either hand. Took a life drawing class once & was having some problems with a nerve in my right shoulder, so my teacher told me to draw with my other hand, so I did. I was amazed that it actually did look like what I was drawing! But I am left-footed.... 8)

Right handed here but my sister is left handed. Between us we have 6 kids and 11 grandchildren, all right handed except one of mine can't decide which hand to use - he is 7 and still uses both for everything.

lefty. 4 kids are righty but 3 out of 4 tie shoes lefty. they all bowl lefty. they iron lefty. can you guess who taught them? :) oldest daughter thinks I warped them.
grandson appears to be lefty- i thought it was because he and I spent a lot of time together, but he's been gone for 6 months and he's still using the left hand to eat.
