I write with my right hand and I play sports right-handed, but I'm pretty inconsistent about being a rightie in other ways.
- I can only carry Jake in my left arm. My right arm and right hip are completely incapable of supporting his weight and bulk. It's been that way with all three kids. Also applies to carrying groceries.
- I always put my left shoe on first, and I put my left leg in my pants first. Also applies to socks.
But then again:
- I hold a phone in my right hand. Cell phone or home phone, it doesn't matter. If I talk with it in my left hand, I lose all my senses and can't concentrate on the topic at hand. Also applies to cutting with knives.
- I am only capable of carrying my purse on my right side. If that strap isn't over my right shoulder, it's meeting the pavement. It's as if my left shoulder is a ski slope. Also applies to diaper bags.
It seems like my right side should be dominant in all ways, but it's not. Why do I notice these things? Why do I care? I don't know. I just know that it bugs me.
