My father could draw with his left hand, but wrote with his right hand. I can do a lot of things with my left hand, for instance most pouring of liquids is done left handed, even boiling water into my coffee cup. My stepsister was left handed, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and first husband, all left handed, oldest grand daughter, also left handed.

He also wreaked havoc with the twist-ties on the bread wrappers. He adapted pretty well, but scissors with the molded handles were sometimes his undoing, along with a manual can-opener.

He also mentioned the wrapping around the posts. He said 1-2 wraps were all that were needed to then get them locked into place. Lesser wraps, more in tune. You probably know all this. He also said he could probably help more but talking on the phone would be his mode of "doing business" to see what he could offer in assistance. He is like your SIL but with over 45 years of experience :) <br /><br />My nephew is left handed. We always have to compensate for where he sits at family meals :) <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-17380477260138930062019-07-25T22:00:52.707-04:002019-07-25T22:00:52.707-04:00Being the only right handed person in a family of ...Being the only right handed person in a family of left-handers, i know exactly how hard it is to learn to do things left handed.
