Yes, I’m left handed

“So you’re a lefty?”

Years ago, I stopped making smart-ass remarks to this inane question.

Remarks like:

  • “Only on the outside.”
  • “That’s what Mr. Righty wants you to think.”
  • “It happened gradually.”
  • “Doctors say there’s nothing I can do about it.”
  • “I’m trying to quit.”
  • “Only after sunset.”
  • “That’s just for writing. I walk and swim right-handed.”

These were fun things to say, but they were never truly appreciated.

Instead, I simply answer the question like this:

“Yes, I’m left-handed.”

Then I wait for what the person will say next, hoping that it will be, “I’m sorry. That was an incredibly stupid question.”

It’s never happened.
