As a notary, I now require people to print their names out as well as sign their names.<br /><br />One of my younger sisters is a southpaw, and until the teacher cottoned on (they forgot my mom mentioned it), little sis wrote backwards.Donna K.

My signature (the only cursive I ever use) looks like a P with a line and a U with a line.

I think Kid C was just hoping that by curling the letters it would just confuse the teacher and he would get a passing grade. <br /><br />I am surprised he didn't get a warning from his teacher for being too violent in his murdering of the banana word.samandbrodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710669439481404534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-82630825998126783932011-09-23T11:10:32.364-07:002011-09-23T11:10:32.364-07:00Ha ha!

I was rooting that he miraculously changed his handedness so we could be southpaws together.
