If my kid is left handed, how bad will his life be?

I can’t get past being excited about young Jaxyn throwing lefty off the bump and and hooping as a shifty leftie, but my wife says things like handwriting and smearing the paper and gay shite like that.

If you are left handed, how bad is your life? Should I waterboard this kid til he’s right-handed?

Can he throw heat?

ETA I used to play cards with a guy who pitched only an inning and a half in the big time and he had a lifetime pension of 50K a year or whereabouts.

Left handlers who could throw gas could command like a $300 million contract in the MLB

Smearing pencil when writing was the absolute worst

Well he has a dad who’s asking a message board their thoughts on his life being left handed. I think being left handed will be the least of his worries

I mean he’s 2. He throws the frick out of his toys when he’s mad. But I think we can get that up to like 35 mph with a twist at the end if I get him in the backyard early enough.

My youngest is left handed. He’s leading a perfectly normal life, is fantastic at art and does martial anrts and plays baseball. He also gets straight As. This board is dramatic as frick.

Interestingly enough his handwriting is BY FAR the neatest of my 3.

Don't go overreacting just yet. He could be bisexual and use both hands.

He'll be alright. I'm mixed handed & I turned out ok. Finding left handed shite when I was a kid in the 80's was rough tho.

I was ambidextrous until the middle of kindergarten when I broke my left arm. Since I had to use my right hand for a few months I went right handed. So.. Break his arm.

Lefty here...it's a major advantage in most everything. Most leftys are good with both hands. I can throw, write etc with both. Shoot roundball, etc.

I golf and bat right but throw left. Let it happen and teach him to use both since its a right handed world...door knobs, etc.

My brother was naturally a lefty at some things but taught himself right-handed things he saw us do as kids.

It’s worked out well for him.

I’m generally positive on left handedness but my entire frame of reference is sports and I have no idea the day to day experience.

I don’t think I’m gonna waterboard him just yet. I’m gonna see where this goes .

Charles Manson, Osama Bin Laden, Oprah Winfrey, and Lady Gaga are left handed.

International Left Handers Day on August 13 recognizes those individuals who have mastered using their left hand in a right-handed world.

I doubt that.

You need 43 days in a mlb roster per year to qualify for 2.5%, and 10 years to become fully vested.

I'm left handed and life is good. If he can pitch, he's golden.
