my son is a leftie and I wouldn't change him for the world. just learn to use your right hand for the spoon!
being short in this world or very very tall isn't fun either. majority rules.

Oh, I am NOT alone!! My left handedness drove my mom crazy when she was teaching me to sew. Well, I had to teach my right hand to do some things and if I could do it, so can you. I cut fabric with the right and pin with the left. LOL Quilting Joan

I took knitting lessons and nearly drove the poor teacher to drink. She finally sent me home with a book and said good luck. So I knit with a needle in my left hand, the other needle between my legs, and manipulate the yarn/thread with my right hand. Where there's a will, there's a way!

I've got a lefty son (41 going on 13) that I will rent out to anyone needing help with left handed stuff. Years ago, I tried to teach my lefty sister to knit. No go. We both ended up crying and mad. I taught my son to knit, and he taught her to knit. I've done the same with several crafts. I can teach him, but not my sister. Only problem, he only remembers a few days. Refer back to the age thing before calling for his help. LOL
