A bit embarrassing


Here's a sign that a friend posted on his blog a few days ago. The embarrassing thing is that I had to think about why it was supposed to be funny.


I've always had trouble with left and right. The way I tell (still) is to hold my hand with my thumb perpendicular to fingers, making an 'L' shape. The hand with the L going the correct way is Left.


L for 'left' and L for 'loser'....

Ummmmmmm, I still tell left and right like that....and I can't tell the time either. A failure, I know!! Not real good with basic concepts!

i still sometimes have to think - right hand is writing hand

Perhaps my problem is not as uncommon as I thought!

I admit I also have that problem.. Always fun when on the soccer feild when the coach yells out turn left and I have to stop and think which way is left, the way ive been getting around it is but putting a hair elastic on my right hand, so the left is the one without..

Cecily said...

The trouble with that is that I wouldn't remember which one I'd put the elastic on...

And another thing... why is that people always leave comments on my silly posts?
