Default Life of a lefty

I, too am a lefty. Ever try tearing off the sheet of plastic wrap or aluminum foil? It's made for right handed people. What a time I have trying to do this activity and what a mess I have when trying. My wrap is wripped to pieces!! I'm learning to turn the wrap box around and tear as a right handed person would. What about those measuring cups? Those too are made for right handed people as the measures are on one side of the cup. I write left handed but golf and use scissors right handed. To this day I have to stop and think about the letter "C" because I forget which way to write it. Must have been a confusing letter for me as a youngster. In school when we would play softball, nobody wanted me on their team because I put the baseball glove on my left hand when playing the outfield, and when I caught the ball I would have to take the glove off to throw the ball! By that time my opponents already had gained at least a base on me. So, being a lefty isn't has easy as one may think. However, it has made me more creative in my daily activities.
