I'm a lefty and have always felt that it makes me unique. DH is right-handed, but both of our kids are lefties! Lucky for them that their mom will be able to help them with handwriting and things like that, but unlucky for my son that he's going to need lefty tefillin.

My husband is a lefty and so is his father. I think his grandfather was also a lefty. All 3 of our kids are righties though, so I won that genetic battle! ;-)

I'm a left but not artsy in any form but creative in problem solving. DH is lefty. 25% of our children are lefties. Neither or our parents are lefties. My brother is a lefty.
There are certain things I just can't get. Like learning a new dance...everything is unnatural and backwards to me.

I'm a righty and very artistic/creative lol
I am able to write and do most things with my left hand, though not nearly as neatly as my right hand. Not sure if that's related at all.

So cool! Everything is totally equal? So what hand do you hold the food in when you make a Brocha?

Im a lefty. Surprised at the poll is so high for left. I always heard is less than 10% of population.
Only thing it really makes a difference for me is my knife skills. I'm fast but can't cut anything without a plate/cutting board. Also I can basically only use serrated knives.

I actually use the same hand when I write? Lefties and righties write differently. It can get really annoying when you're learning how to write, actually.

Wow! Can you write normally with both hands?
I had a classmate that was able to write with both hands at once. We learnt the word ambidextrous in 1st grade when the teacher saw her writing with both hands.

I also basically only use serrated knives but I didn’t do it has anything to do with being a lefty, what’s the connection?
