    It used to be thought that if a single child was born left handed that they were a twin and the other one died.
    Twins are more likely to have one left handed than single kids.

    I know of a few older people who are ambidextrous because they had their left-handedness bate out of them at school.

    Do you think the second born twin ever wonders about being not planned ?

    The time I'm talking about there was years ago.
    And with family and friends it was fine.

    There was no way to plan for twins.

    I love scaring the Shíte out of right handers by simply using a bread knife to cut a slice of bread, freaks them out.
