Kept quiet about it. My grandmother wasn't allowed to be a lefty - she was forced to eat, write, etc. with her right hand. That was the norm in her generation. I don't know if she would have allowed my mother to be left-handed, but the problem never arose. Being allowed to use a ballpoint pen rather than a fountain pen was pretty radical when I was at school. Fortunately for me most of the schools I attended were quite progressive in their views; some of the other schools in the area still insisted on "real" pens. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
