Claire has made her decision.

I'm sure it's been around for a few weeks, but today was the first chance I had to really test it.

I gave her a pencil, and put it in her left hand. She made a few scribbles, then switched to her right hand, smiled, and started to "write."

So two left-handed parents have produced two right-handed daughters. I'm a little disappointed about this, I think. But it's her brain telling her what to do, and it's hard to argue with genetics.

If it muddies the water any, my kids have both decided they play hockey left handed while they both write with their right hands.

Strange that my father used to play sports left handed but everything I do is right (sports and penmanship included)
