3. Right handed,
but I grew up in a left-handed household (mom and sister), so I do a lot of things left-handed also.

4. Since the opposite side
of the brain controls, us lefties are the only ones in their right minds.

5. We seem to have an abnormal number of leftys here.
Is there some explanation for this?

Maybe righties don't bother to answer this poll.

Then again, who wants righties in here anyway? ;)

As are my mom and brother. Dad's the oddball righty.

7. Lefty; three-fifths of my immediate family is left-handed.
My dad and older sister are right-handed.

8. I eat, shoot pool, and shave left handed
but write and throw right-handed. I didn't really pick one or the other until I was in second grade. I'd start writing with my left hand--and then switch to the right in the middle of the page. I t blew the teachers' minds.

Not that I was exceptionally good with either hand, nor am I now....(sigh)

Oh yeah, nobody really forced me into it--I just went with the flow--everybody else was right handed so I went with that.

11. Left Handed
Although a childhood incident left me writing with my right hand, I do everything else with my left hand. And I can golf, shoot pool, throw darts, etc. with either hand.

14. I can write with both hands, but I favor my right. I eat and
catch things with my left. I play guitar left-handed. I consider myself ambidexterous (sp?).

16. A lefty, though most likely would have been right handed.
When I was born, I was breeched, with my arms twisted up behind my back. Doc's said I would never have use of my left arm. My Mum put me through some really intensive therapy, and I am left handed. I am the only left handed person in my family, that is including both sides, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents ect...through several generations.

There are some things that I do right handed. Baseball, for example, or using scissors.
