| 223133 | 2004-03-17 23:44:00 | I am mixed-handed (I suspect, a weak left-hander unconsciously and incompletely converted in childhood. Sometimes consciously: I can remember being retrained to shake hands with my right hand; so I now bat and bowl right-handed. I may have been LH at both if they'd left the handshaking alone). But I write and use a spoon (or a fork by itself) left-handed. I butter bread L but cut it R. I paint the bulk of a wall R but edges and corners L. My left hand overall is better at "delicate" work. But I thread a needle with the right hand! If I were to plump for one side or the other, I'd say I was (originally) left-handed. Partner right-handed; the one lefthanded-ish thing she does is to stir tea and coffee right-handed but anti-clockwise. Younger child is the same. Elder child is, as far as I can tell, totally right-handed (she did mention one minor thing she did left-handed but I forget what it was). Parents were both right-handed, except that my father dealt cards with his left hand. I think you'll find a lot of people who can name at least one thing they do the "other" way. Stepping outside the immediate family and probably beyond your survey, but worth recording that my two nephews (sister's sons) are both as pure left-handers as I've ever seen. One does one or two right-handed things, but the other none that he can think of. Both my sister and her husband are right-handed. I'd love to do a survey one time on the anti-clockwise coffee-stirring thing. A former girlfiend also used to do it. I am an anti-clockwise left-handed stirrer. Argus |

Well, I can do a rather mean south-paw when provoked - does that count? :D HWMO does sometimes display some rather strange tendencies as reported by others in this thread, eg using cutlery in the opposite hands to everyone else, amongst other things. :-) |
