My best friend is a leftie and every day, she tells me about her everyday troubles, such as the fact that trying to find left-handed desks are like searching for Atlantis. Apparently, not many items that are made for righties are also made for lefties.
When I was in grade 4, my class took a field trip to an old pioneer school. We dressed the part and everything. The ‘teacher’ there was supposed to teach us based on the time period.
I was so excited to go! Until we started writing and she saw that I wrote with my left hand. (I was the only lefty in the class) The teacher slapped part of the desk to make a noise and told me to write with the right hand or she will tie my left hand behind my back.
I felt that set me apart pretty quick.
(Obviously she wasn’t going to harm me, but I was in grade 4. I didn’t know what to expect)
All my cute mugs are for my eyes only, because the design is displayed away from you when you hold it right-handed to show off to those around you. But for this reason I usually just buy a mug with a design that wraps all the way around. Can’t buy one of those unicorn mugs with the horn on the side because I would stab myself with it holding it left-handed…
I have been told by me PE teacher that us lefties have an advantage when playing sports such as tennis or ping pong, as opponents are used to right-handed players
I think he reconsidered when he saw me play though…
We’re sinister.
