How many of you are left handed? [I Ask]

I am. When I was younger I went to a private catholic school. The teachers would hit my hand with a ruler and said it was a sign of the devil. Tried to make me use my other hand. I'm so glad I got out of there in the 4th grade

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Haha! 😏
(I am almost ambidextrous, by the way. I started my life as a leftie, but I was put into a re-education camp called school.)

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I'm pretty good with both hands to be honest. Maybe those 4 years did me some good

@helenS @SolGryn
My auntie tells a story about the teacher tying her left hand to her chair..
