Lefty Or Righty?
Posted: 09-26-06 14:25pm

Ok yall. I am left handed, as is my mom. Baron is right handed. My grandfather(on my dad's side) was also left handed.

Does anyone know of any excercises I could do to determine if she is left or right handed? Now, just by regular observance, she reaches for things more with her left, than her right. She plays with toys with both really.

I dangle her noonie in front of her and she grab it with her left hand and put it in her mouth.

I don't wanna get my hopes up that she's left handed, and have her turn out to be right handed.

I know there's nothing wrong with her being right handed but I would prefer her to be a lefty. Just for the pure fact that we use our right side of the brain to perform.

I'm a righty. My husband *was* a lefty, but his grade school teacher made him learn to write with his right hand instead, so I guess now he's a righty? He still does lots of things with his left hand, like dealing cards and using screwdrivers.

So it's a toss-up as far as .Aly goes!

I'm a lefty!

My dad's parents are, my dad is, &.I am too!
I'm hoping the baby is left handed, too.
Just because lefties are cooler.
Cool

One article I read recently stated that the babies handedness will most likely be determined by the handedness of whichever parent they spend most time with.

There are no left-handed people in my family, or my boyfriend's family, to my knowledge.. And I only have one left-handed friend, who I don't see very often anymore.. So i'm guessing my baba will most likely end up a righty.

I think it's interesting that left-handedness is more common in gay people. That means technically I should be ambidextrous Laughing

I'm a lefty but I only eat and write with my left hand. Everything else I do with my right.

My dad and my older brother are lefties. My mom and my younger brother are righties.

I find it very strange when people point out "oh, wow, you're a lefty!" (when i'm signing a receipt or something) like it's really rare or special. Weird.

Kay I didn't know you were a leftie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, people say " are you a genius? " hahahaha...I'm like, as a matter of fact.....

I can't throw a ball *to save my life* with my left hand!! I mainly eat and write with it. My right arm is stronger, but my left hand is dominant.

I pray to the gods above that .Oni be a leftie!!!!

Bridget, people always do that to me, too.
".Oh you're left handed! How neat!"
..Uh thanks? Hahaha.

But .I can't do anything with my right hand.
It's pretty sad. Even typing this .I can feel so much
more of a difference in my left hand. I can't even
hold an eating utensil with my right hand, lol.

Something like 10 percent of the worlds population is left handed. And something like 50 percent of people who are considered geniuses are left handed.


I thought that was interesting.
