Are you left handed, or do you know a person with left-handedness (person first language is typically appropriate when you're speaking about someone with a disability--e.g., person with down syndrome, person with depression, person with left-handedness, etc.)? Were you cutting open some bags of dried beans today? And did it take you 10 minutes to get the scissors to function properly? Did you end up using both hands?

Friends, LH isn't as bad as any other disability in the world, but it does impair a person's ability to use scissors. If you or someone you know never learned to use scissors, please call 555-Scissor-Illiterate, and get access to needed help. Just because you or your loved one failed to learn this skill in 1st grade doesn't mean suffering should needlessly continue. Help is on the way.
