    An interesting thing about using phones isn't just limited to the hand but also to the ear. Although I can hold a phone in either hand I still hold it against my left ear as the sound is better than it is in the right ear - is this unusual?

    Interesting note....

    I'm a lefty but Mom and Dad weren't. Same goes for my siblings. No lefties.

    My ex and my current Significant Other along with both of my daughters are righties with no left-handed tendencies.

    My 2 grandsons by my oldest daughter are both lefties! Weird, huh?

    Not really. I've seen it mentioned in a few places that left-handedness seems to skip generations. I've said my father is left-handed; his grandfather was left-handed, too, but his father was not. So I'm expecting my son to be left-handed.

    I'm right-handed and typically hold the phone to my left ear as it's better than my right but also if I'm taking messages I writing hand is free.

    Serious Question: Is that not what a kilted skirt is, or does????

    I am one of those odd Beasties that is right handed but left footed!! My left leg is my dominate one. I was the kicker on my high school football team and I could really boot with my left leg. I had a coach try to train me out of it. I could never get the distance on a field goal that I could with my left leg. Kicking right legged just did not seem natural to me. I have never seen any one else with this.

    Does this mean I use less or more of my brain?? Not just left or right? Hey Hey be nice now!

    Yes, there is no such thing as a left handed kilt. That is a kilted skirt that is buckled on the left. DO NOT CALL ROCKY unless you're ordering for your lady friend(s)!

    The funny thing about handedness, all of my paternal male cousins are left handed where as all females are right handed.
