Have You Ever...

...tried to eat with the opposite hand? It's like next to impossible for me. I could barely do it. Finger foods I can eat with either hand, that's not that hard, but I can't use a fork with my opposite hand that well. Food made it to my face but the destination was in controversy for my poor left hand. He tried so hard to go where I wanted but alas it just wasn't going to happen for him.

It was horrible to try and do. My arm was shaky and everything. It was like when I look in the mirror and try to use a robert pin. It's like I've suddenly forgotten how to go forward and how to go back, left and right are more mixed up than normal, (I can't do my left and right. I have to pause and think. I can't even do the make an 'L" thing because it never fails that when I'm using it for that, I forget how an 'L' goes. Band commands were torture for me. Except for stepping off. I can start on my left foot, but never connect that side with being my left. I need to go back to a young age or something to learn how to get it right again..that and how to tie my shoes...I'm suffering in college without Michelle to tie them for me...) Anyway, it just didn't go well for me. It just felt weird. I'm kinda glad I didn't try it with a spoon and soup of some sort. I surely would have spilled food all over myself in the confusion.

Though when it comes to trying the opposite way, have you ever clasped your fingers together switching the order? Like starting with a different thumb on top? That just feels out of this world. Same as crossing your arms the opposite way. When I try to do that, I can't even figure out how to make my arms go. It's like I've forgotten what I'm trying to do and just kinda wiggle my arms around for a few minutes in different positions until I just give up and put them in my pockets.

Another thing that's hard to do, is putting pants on and stepping in first with the opposite leg. I will fall over if I do that and I will never get my pants on until I switch back to normal. I'll be laying on the ground, just rolling around trying to get them on and it will never happen. Once I thought I had it, but I had the pants on backwards. It was depressing. Since it was sweat pants, I almost just left it like that, but it felt awkward since I knew it was wrong, so I switched it around.

I can't just change things up like that. Routines can be broken, patterns can change, things can be disordered, unless its using the opposite side from normal. I cannot do that to save my life. I'll be mixed, confused and unable to continue with life until I fix myself. It's fun to try but has terrifying results. Use caution in attempting these things at home. You'll first be confused, turned around, then the terror will set until you remember how to function like you have for years. That or it's just me and I'm a freak, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.
