Today we also took Joshua to his 4 month appointment. Ready for this???? 18 lbs 1 oz and 26 1/2 inches long. Oh, and by the way, he looks to be left handed...just like mommy.
They say right handed people use the left side of their brain andleft handed people actually use the right side of their brain, so I have been raised to believe that I have always been in my right mind. I am sure there are others who beg to differ.
Though after doing some research on the internet, I've become aware of some common myths. Makes you think twice about having the left hand be dominate...
Getting out of bed with the left foot first means that you will have a bad day and be bad tempered . i.e. getting out of bed the wrong side.
A ringing in the right ear means that someone is praising you. In the left ear it means that someone is cursing or maligning you.
An itchy right palm means that you will receive money. An itchy left palm means you will have to give money.
Wedding rings worn on the third finger of the left hand originated with the Greeks and Romans, who wore them to fend of evil associated with the left-hand
If your right eye twitches you will see a friend, if it's your left eye that twitches you'll see an enemy.
When dressmaking it's believed to be bad luck to sew the left-hand sleeve onto a garment before the right sleeve.
When leaving to go on a journey, if your right foot itches you're bound to have a good journey. If your left foot itches it will end in sorrow.
It is thought to be bad luck to pass a drink to another person with your left-hand or anti-clockwise around a table.
But I still have to argue some of history's most creative minds have been left-handed....
Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ludwig van Beethoven, Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were all left-handed according to history.
(Besides, what father wouldn't want a left-handed pitcher?)
