[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 285788, member: 1991"] Handedness is not necessarily absolute. My eldest sister was born left-handed but it was in the days when they forced people to use their right hands. She developed a bad stammer and her hair fell out, my mother said. But in the end she wrote with her right hand. Then years later another sister (who had been right-handed) was brain-damaged and switched to using her left hand. I was learning to write at about this time and copied my sister. It was just at the point where they didn't interfere (although I did get verbally criticised at school). Was I meant to be a left-hander anyway? I'm not sure. I do a lot of things right-handed, other things left-handed because I was allowed to. I can switch easily between left-brain & right-brain tasks. husband is a right-hander, half our kids are left-handers, so I guess I do carry a gene for left-handedness, assuming it is genetic and not environmental.
