Lefthandedness

left-drawing-rightI am lefthanded.  So what, you say?

Well, the world is built for the right handers — which makes sense, since they are the majority. 

I would just like to point out the many, many small inconveniences that lefties deal with day after day. 

Like soup ladles.  If there is a pour spout on only one side of the ladle, it will be for pouring with the right hand. 

Statement necklaces, that can only be worn facing one way, have the clasp on the right side for the right hand to maneuver.

A frivolous example are tea cups…  What?  How could a tea cup be left or right handed?  … The little decoration on the inside of the cup for you to notice and enjoy as you sip?  Yup, on the side for the right hand…

And don’t get me started on scissors.

Now, before I get too far and away on this topic and start ranting that mustache cups should exist for lefties, the real point I intend to make here is that if I, and other southpaws, find life skewed to the right — well doesn’t that ‘skewedness’ exist for everybody to some extent?  Isn’t the world organized and built for those of ‘average’ heights?  For the ‘able bodied’?  For the non-dyslexic?  Et cetera.

We all have some sort of cross to bear in our physicality, I just bear mine on the left.

Drawn and painted by my left hand is this week’s scenario at  Contentment is for Cows.
