my son is a leftie and I wouldn't change him for the world. just learn to use your right hand for the spoon!
being short in this world or very very tall isn't fun either. majority rules.

So just give it to a lefty and don't worry about it...I'm a lefty too!

I am a 'righty' but I am surrounded by 'leftys', DH and DD. The only time it has ever been a problem, is when it comes to buying scissors. I have taught them both to crochet, knit, sew, and everything else, so it really is no problem. It may be that I am 'right minded'? :lol:

3incollege - The picture you have as your avatar, where was it taken? It looks like a castle in Hiedelberg, Germany.

I could do this (spoon in right hand), but it probably wouldn't be pretty, dribble, dribble. I'll keep it in my left hand. lol

Oh, I am NOT alone!! My left handedness drove my mom crazy when she was teaching me to sew. Well, I had to teach my right hand to do some things and if I could do it, so can you. I cut fabric with the right and pin with the left. LOL Quilting Joan

Me too! And, I iron with my right hand. My mom used to get furious if I turned the ironing board around for my left hand and forgot to change it back. It was just simpler to iron with my right than deal with the 'wrath of mom'! LOL

I took knitting lessons and nearly drove the poor teacher to drink. She finally sent me home with a book and said good luck. So I knit with a needle in my left hand, the other needle between my legs, and manipulate the yarn/thread with my right hand. Where there's a will, there's a way!

Same here, another lefty. So you can always send them to one of us.... :-D

I've got a lefty son (41 going on 13) that I will rent out to anyone needing help with left handed stuff. Years ago, I tried to teach my lefty sister to knit. No go. We both ended up crying and mad. I taught my son to knit, and he taught her to knit. I've done the same with several crafts. I can teach him, but not my sister. Only problem, he only remembers a few days. Refer back to the age thing before calling for his help. LOL
