sabreW4K3Happy International Left 👈 Handed Day
Gsus4And who could forget granny’s: when you’re left handed, “YOU’RE THE LITERAL SPAWN OF SATAN” ok, dear?
Since handedness is genetic, there is a chance that that’s what she was told when she learned to use the right hand (pun intended)

One of my favorite theories, by no means provable, is that since the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and also language (both of those are true actually), it’s literally disparaging the side of the body it doesn’t control and praising the side it does, which is why so often “left” develops negative connotations and “right” positive ones.
