I thought it was kind of cool when she just naturally did things with her left hand. It went a long way with me in a realization that some things are not about nurture. Some things come down to the hardwiring.
But in practice, being left is kind of a pain. It's hard to teach her things. Hold a pencil. Use a fork. Swing a bat. These are things
I just don't do with my left hand, so it's hard to demonstrate. Also, I have to consciously think about which way to hand her the fork, almost every time I do it.And that doesn't even address our future pains. Left handed golf clubs. Left handed scissors. Left handed can openers. It's endless for the up to 10 percent of the population born to be left.
Kind of like pounding a square peg into a round hole. No wonder so many lesbians are left-handed. No really... they are.

Scott is a lefty who grew up the youngest in an all right-handed family. He learned how to do things right-handed, including golf, and became an all-state golfer to boot. He's ambidexterious, which could also have it's benefits.
