LEFTHANDED SEVERELY DISORDERED CONDEMNED TO A LIFE OF NON-USAGE


I remember when the children who went to parochial schools and who were left handed were forced to learn to write with the right hand.  We were all taught that the right hand was the proper hand to receive things from others.  This was taught because the left hand was not polite.
The word for left in Latin and to this day in Italian is "sinister."  Just a little piece of nostalgia for those of you old enough to remember it.

  1. If this is so than why did you and your brother force the LEFT HANDED USE upon you poor younger sibling

  2. Boy, talk about getting caught off base and nailed to the ground. We will talk about this in the open. It needs it.
