This won't help with sporting questions, but if he turns his paper sideways to write, don't yell at him. Sometimes it really is more comfortable for a lefty to write that way, despite how twisted it looks.

An aunt of mine went to Catholic school and they used to hit her left hand with a ruler every time she wrote with it. She's right-handed now.

I'd probably convert and take up pitching. Hey, it worked in the past.
 
I had several people try to get me to switch hands when I was little. I still have people now who try to insist doing things right-handed would be better for me. I don't understand what the deal is with the anti-lefty world.

I have to cut right-handed. I blame the government.

Sandy Koufax wouldn't pitch on Rosh Hashanah. Would you?

On his salary? Yeah, probably.

I cut right-handed too but never thought about it until I read this post.

I too cut right-handed, but while I'm cutting I cah keep a pen in my left hand while guiding the paper. When I'm done cutting, I don't have to look for the pen.

When I was in elementary school, I had to use those stupid, four-ringed, red scissors while everyone else used cool yellow ones. Every time I cut, people would look at me. I remember playing whiffle ball in seventh grade. My friend and I were ripping on each other, and he looked at me and said, "You know what's cool? I can cut paper with no problem at all." That hurt.

From that day forward, I switched hands and now don't even bother trying with the left. It's obvious the craft industry doesn't give a **** about me, so I had to conform. Call me a sell-out, I don't care. I just wanted to cut my own paper during the holidays. Was it too much to ask to do it with a pair of good lefties? Yeah, I guess. The right-handers will get theirs in time. You'll see.
