(Repost) Amy's stOry: Raising Right Handed Child(ren)



I’m a left handed, I know many friends have known that. But will I have a left handed child/ren? I’m not quite sure, yet. Well, it’s because when you’re a left handed, it seems people will blaming you if your kid is a left handed too. Maybe that’s just my prejudice.

When I feed my kids with my left hand because I’m a clumsy mom and feeding two kids who are running around definitely will cause a chaos of food, some people will tease me, “What? You’re feeding your kids with your left hand?” Usually I would answer, “Well, both of my parents are right handed, but I’m a left handed anyway.”

It seems that if your parents are right handed, it means it has something to do with genetics and how your brain work first. But if you have a left handed parent and you are a left handed, it means your parent had teached you bad. Or maybe I was just making it too serious... hahaha I don’t know. Maybe I just got annoyed when my father asked me to use right hand when feeding the kids. It’s only a matter of esthetics, please.

When Malika was in her first year, she would use her left hand to draw only when I’m the one who draw first. If it was her father, then she would use her right hand. One day, I told her, while she holding her pencil with her left hand. “You don’t have to use your left hand, if you feel hard to do it. You may use your right hand.” I said that because I know she could hold her pencil better when using her right hand. After I said that, instantly she removed the pencil to her right hand. Until now.

For moral matters, I oftenly forgot hohoho... Maybe because  my brain defines a left hand is a normal hand, so I don’t give Malika or Safir a reminder to take or give something to or from someone else with their right hands. And usually, people would say to them, “Where is your nice hand?” and I would correct them right away, “Where is your RIGHT hand?”

Using the symptoms of nice hand, is for me a little bit annoying. I’m offenced. If your left hand is a bad hand then why God create it? Why don’t we all cut our left hands?

 My dad said that your lefthand contains antiseptic that’s why it’s job is to wipe your poo poo from your vitals. While your right hand contains .. mm .. I forgot, well it’s something that help the food to rot faster. That’s why you use your right hand to eat.

But I’m sorry papa, I wipes my poo poo with my right hand, so ... hmmm ... hehehe.... I can’t do it with my left hand. I would fell. Seriously.

Anyway, enough with the poo poo. All I’m trying to say is, there’s nothing wrong with being a left handed from a left handed parent. I guess, i have to say it to my self. Overreact hehehe ...
