You must conform

Today, my slightly batshit insane grandma called me disgusting and unladylike. Why? For writing with my left hand. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Superstitions are the dumbest.

Maybe show her how you can speak sign language with that left hand

I wonder if some old people just use their age as a way to say shit like this and get away with it. I'm not sure whether that is worse, or if them literally being so ungrounded as to believe the demented things they say are true is the worse of the two. Then again, my grandparents are sane, and yet one pair has hated me since I was born, and I didn't get to even talk to the other pair until I was ten or twelve so I can't really be one to say.

I wonder if she knows what year it is... shit catch her up to everything that's been going on. For example, the plague has passed and there's even a vaccine for polio.

Judging from your crude description of grandma I don't think it's your left handedness that's unladylike.

Grandma's will be grandma's, in the end you still gotta love them.

@31 Actually you don't. Love isn't mandatory and it can't be forced.

Use whichever hand makes you comfortable. Times have changed and there is nothing wrong with being left handed ?

Lol, my grandma is ambidextrous

I wouldn't be so sure of that. My maternal grandmother is 'ambidextrous' as well, but she was actually forced to learn to use her right hand as a child. From what I know, that practice continued at least through the 60s. In all likelihood, your grandmother is a lefty who was forced to be right-handed.

But it is possible, my grandmother is, and so is my father, and my brother is as well. Though it completely skipped passed me, unfortunately.

As a lefty as well I know what you mean...so judgemental... If she was around enough when you were growing up I can figure she would have put more things in your right hand to make you a righty...

So how long have you known your grandma? Because most people are born either left handed or right handed.

I like your username OP

you *****!!! yeah I am a lefty as well my grandmother used to tell me to use my right hand as you can't trust lefties.
