My dad, an absolute right handed person could not understand what mental problem his 4 year old son had when he wanted to EAT with his left hand, WRITE with his left hand, WIPE with his right hand, DEFEND himself with his right hand and HIT other kids with his left hand!
From age 2 when I started trying to feed myself with my left hand, he'd grab the fork out of my left hand, slap me in the face and stick the fork in my right hand. I'd move it back and suffer a repeat. This occurred until I would finally give up and stop eating. After taking the food in his right hand and stuffing it down my throat until I choked and/or puked he thought up a different tact...He tied me to the chair, tied my left hand to my belt, tied the fork to my right hand and failed to get me fed until they had to take me to the hospital. I'm a Scorpio ( a known hard headed sign ). This continued until a Shrink was called, gave up on me, and finally convinced my DAD that HE was going about it the wrong way. I was then allowed to do whatever I wanted to do left handed. But I, to this day, cannot eat and keep down any of the foods he stuffed down my throat. Actually, I remembered something I do rather well with my right hand. heh...
Does this qualify me as a Left Handed person?? duh..
so we are still leading so far...
