This blog is not a referendum on the mysteries of being left-handed in a right-handed world but boy, is it tempting! We've taken some cheap shots over centuries, dating back to earliest times. Imagine having the left-handedness beaten out of you. Dang.
The inspiration for this blog literally hit me this morning. I don't know why I hadn't thought of it sooner. I am one of those who wears her left-handedness on her sleeve. You know, the one who exaggerates when I'm signing a document. I don't want to curve my wrist when I sign and I let 'em know it. I swirl the entire paper horizontal just so that the signature line is facing in the right direction where I can keep my wrist straight and sign my siggy. Dramatic, I know. But why should I have to endure ink marks lining my wrist and forearm because an elitist righty hands a piece of paper over to me assuming I'm one them?
Wonder if any famous lefties are dramatic in that way? Barack Obama? Oprah? Bill Clinton? Julia Roberts? Angelina Jolie? 50 Cent? Napolean?
OK, thanks for allowing me my one lefty rant. That is until something really out there pops up and I'll chime in again.

My son is left handed and he writes horribly. I heard someone say "he writes so bad because he's left handed" - I was quick to say no, that has nothing to do with it - i'm sure he would write just as bad if he was right handed! I can relate.
