I'm left handed, bat right handed, play golf right handed etc. Now what I don't understand is why some parents/teachers were so strict in forcing someone to use their right hand. Besides using a pair of scizzors or a can opener I don't see what the big deal is. And now for my left handed story, my father told me that as a child my mother would tie down my left hand to encourage me to use my right hand more. The rest of the story gets a bit fuzzy, I can't recall if he stopped her or if she gave up in frustration because I refused to use my right hand. Too bad she's gone, I'd get a good laugh hearing the story from her.
