Are you a righty or lefty? (kids, people, body, examples)

I write neater with my right hand, but write faster with my left. On a whiteboard, I can write two different things at the same time, but it gets difficult on paper. I choose to write with my left hand, but do other things as a righty (such as eating).

I rule myself ambidextrous.

I was born that way and can't figure out what those that are one handed do with the other hand. I have had a theory that it is something that someone can be trained to do. You are an example of that.

The only thing I can do with my right hand is use scissors.
I think that was pretty much forced upon me because I think in school they had like 3 left handed pairs in the entire place.

Are left-handed scissors like a left-handed wrench?

I am a righty...but I use my left hand for some things..although I wouldn't call myself ambidextrous. But try this for fun...try printing or writing your name with both your hands at the same time. I was boredand tried this. Even though I can write fairly well with my left hand, I could barely do it with left hand.

I use both hands. I write with my right hand and hold the paper down with my left hand...

Lefty, but I batt right handed. Really, I think most lefties are pretty ambidexterous out of necessity.

I'm ambidextrous. Write with my left hand, golf and tennis right hand, throw a ball with my left, scissors right, put on lipstick with my left hand, paint with left etc, etc, etc.

My sister is a lefty, and she is a very accomplished pianist, musician and artist. "They" tried to turn her into a "righty" in school, but my parents resisted. She always wonders if "they" had persisted whether she would be right-handed today, or use both hands. She says she cannot use her right hand for anything. Your question is a good one. I wonder how many lefty's were turned into righty's by schools or their parents? Be interesting to hear from some of these folks.

Lefty!!

Old joke but- you know that lefties are the only ones in their right mind!! (Right-side of the brain controls the left side...!)

I’m ambidextrous, I’ll write with my left hand, draw pictures with the left and paint pictures with the right hand. I play all the sports with the right hand but work with tools in both left or right. My life is all screwed up and I’m slightly dyslexic as well.
