have you ever been woken up with an odd subject in your head?

[lokizmom]

well...on thursday morning i was awake at 4am with this in my head:

left handed or right handed...is it in your DNA or is it learned? are people born left or right handed? if so...i should be left handed because that's what was "normal" for me as a kid. however when i went to school and before that...to my babysitter's house...i was forced to use my right hand. that has caused issues in my learning ability. i was always considered slow. perhaps it's because i wasn't thinking with the right side of my brain or perhaps it's just because school was boring to me. at any rate...if i had been left handed as was "normal" for me would my life have been different?

so...are you right or left handed? were you born that way or were you forced to change? if you are left handed...do you think things would be different if you were forced to conform?

these are the things that i wake up thinking...yeah...that's my brain for ya.

on another note:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY sausage_boy we still need to do coffee some time soon!

see and that's the thing...when tisa (my niece) was a baby she would use both hands. as she got older she started favoring her left hand. i immediately tried to get her to use her right and my sister corrected me. she did it nicely but still...i thought it was odd that i would be changing my niece the same way i was changed. it's interesting to see that now she's using her right hand to write and draw, but her left for other tasks...

:) yeah see that kinda proves my above theory. kids will use whatever hand "feels right" to them, for the task the are doing.

you were taught at a young age "left hand wrong bad!" so it's only human that you would try and "fix" your niece. because as much as you may resent having been taught this, it stuck in your head.
and knowing you, you were also probably trying to protect her by teaching her yourself before the scary mean people made her feel bad and wrong. or at the very least i could see something to that effect also cycle through your head. :D
