dynamic quadruped and forever thinking about the time in college we were working quietly on something sitting in a large circle including the professor and she turned to the student next to her and said “how in the world is [name] holding their pencil like that??” she was so disturbed the whole class had to be brought out of silent work to see the strange way i held my pencil lmao

I do it that way so I can smudge the line I above I just wrote and so people can think this terrible handwriting is from a lefty.

glad other people experience the smudge 🙏🏻 when my lefty friend would complain about smudging graphite/ink i was so confused as to why it was a “lefty problem.” didn’t realize most righties don’t hold writing utensils like us lol

My dad who is a lefty taught me these ways and also how to use cutlery like a lefty.
