The Right Way

It’s funny to watch a lefty. Everything they do looks awkward to someone who’s a righty. Mainly because we do everything right. Think about it…why else would we be called right?

But sometimes the lines get blurred…especially in politics. There are some us who are right-handed and right wing, and others who are left-handed and left wing…but there are also some right wing people who are lefties, and some left wing people who are righties. And also those…left or right of center. I’m so confused. I have nothing left to say on that subject.

They say lefties are intelligent and historically some of our more influential and successful people are left-handed. That would include Clinton, Ford, George H. W. Bush, Obama, Hendrix, Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Babe Ruth. Add PaulA to that impressive list. But saying “lefties are intelligent”…is really a left-handed compliment.

I’m a righty who married a lefty so over our marriage…I have watched PaulA write with a left hook…and eat, cut, tie his shoes and put cards in envelopes the wrong way. (Hang in there…I know this blog is out of left field.)

Not only is PaulA a lefty, but so are his mom and 2 other brothers. Making 3 out of 7 siblings lefties and 4 out of 7 of them brush their teeth with CREST.

If I was left to my own devices…I would make lefties conform and do things the right way…but I also realize I should stop being so self-righteous, and accept that lefties have rights too.

Right-on!
