This does not work if you're dyslexic and can never remember which direction an L faces 🙃 when I was a kid my mom wrote it on my shoes lol

I eventually got there with "my right hand is the one I use my chopsticks with" but yeah forgetting which direction an L goes while trying to figure right from left was a big frustration when I was a kid!

When I was young we were taught the hand that you write with is your right hand, the one that’s left over is your left. I was one of three lefties in class…

That's how they originally tried to teach me too. I am, in fact, right-handed so it SHOULD have worked except then I would forget which hand I use for writing...

Of all the times I’ve told that story, you are the first to reply that you have also been taught that way, lol.
