Small world! The exact same thing happened to me, except that my hand writing sucks regardless of which hand I use. I attended elementary school back in the mid 60's and was forced to sit with my left hand behind my back, or else suffer a whack on my knuckles with a wooden ruler. Needless to say I was whacked on the knuckles often.

Today, I do most things left handed, with the exception of writing.

Similar experience here. Force use right hand and I do everything with my right hand, but write.I can write with right hand, but not as well as my left hand. I have nice penmanship, but nothing to write home about

Same damn thing happened to me too, the epic whack on the left hand knuckles. I write right handed, but I can do that left also. I do things left and right handed. I play put put golf lefty and throw softball righty and catch lefty.
I'm ambidextrous and pretty even handed in strength.
I thought I was the only one that happend to in 1st grade when I was in school. The damn teacher said if I used my left hand it was the Devil's hand and he'd have hold over me. Needless to say, I was whacked many many times lol. My dad is left handed too.

I also have ocean blue eyes just like my dad.

Chad · 01-15-2016, 10:18 PM

I am right handed (I feel like I should apologize for that). I have hazel eyes (blue/green). I am polite, respectful, and easy to get along with. I am intelligent, silly, and mushy.

I like old movies and conversation. I love animals wild and domestic.

The kitties and I think that I am funny.

randrum · 01-16-2016, 01:32 AM

Funny to read about all you ambidextrous people, because the same thing happened to me. Except it was my grandparents who forced me to write right handed.

Then I broke my right arm in 6th grade and picked up using my left hand to right real quick. Now I switch off because it confuses people.

I say my eyes are green. But they tend to "change" color depending on what I'm wearing, lighting, etc. But stay within a blue/green/grey range.

BullDog · 01-16-2016, 09:12 AM

Wow, so interesting to see all of the lefties/ambidextrous people here. My parents are both right-handed, but I am left-handed and my two brothers are as well, so I grew up with it feeling pretty normal and no one at school tried to force me to write or do anything else with my right hand. So I am lefty all the way and not ambidextrous- which would be cool but not cool of people to try to force right-handedness!

Bèsame* · 01-16-2016, 11:21 AM

My mother is left handed. She tried to teach me to knit, and crochet when I was young. eEpic fail! Lol...it took us a while to realize if I sat across from her and copied was the best way. Really , that was the only thing unusual. I never realized any other differences . I suppose we adapt as we go.

Funny though, my two past long time relationships, have been lefties. Then it became a constant, which side to I sit on. ( throw in, I'm very dyslectic about right and left, if you know me, it's a driver turn or a passenger turn. Lol. However, I have a great sense of direction, I can do North, South, East and West) There were always two kinds of scissors.

Now, I'm in a "right" relationship. Nothing has changed, cept I can seat either way I guess in my world, it wasn't a big deal.

Oh yeah, I have those ocean blue eyes. Probably the German/French part of me.

girlin2une · 01-16-2016, 11:28 AM

This is a very good description of my own eyes...

Dominantly left? Is that so ? LOL

JDeere · 07-24-2016, 08:23 PM

I am right handed.

I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old.

Gayandgray · 07-25-2016, 06:35 PM

I'm right handed. I LOVE horror movies. I've been fat most of my life. I LOVE animals and actually prefer them to people.

femmeandstrong · 07-25-2016, 07:36 PM

I got stuck in the French trucker strike in the 80s... in France... near Caleigh..they blocked the highways ( clearly I found a way out ) ...

I was pickpocketed on a London subway and the dude gave my wallet back...lol, yes..

I ( was once a midwife in England ) ...delivered three babies in the caul ( intact amniotic sac...)

and for those who haven't yet thrown up...
I love Breyer's gelato ... lmao

TL1 · 07-25-2016, 07:36 PM

I am left handed. Sort of. Write with left but some things I can only do with my right hand. I started smoking when I was 13 years old. I smoked for 20 years or so. I no longer smoke. And apparently I ate my twin. (Some claim left handed people were originally a twin but they absorbed the other fetus.... Or something like that)

Ditto, except I really did eat my twin. There were two of us on one sonogram and then just me a couple months later.

Clearly, it was a kill or be killed situation.

Bèsame* · 07-26-2016, 08:51 AM

I was always the tallest one in class. I was happy when both my little brothers grew up and became taller than me! But I still take pride in making them cry just with my words! Lol lol poor Geraldine and Vincelica...my names I gave them!

I went thru the Panama Canal, and at that time, it was on the largest cruise ship to fit thru. very interesting

I've won many ribbons from the Worlds Largest Fair, including blue ribbons!
