Conversations with a 6 year old...Expanded Edition

My son was spending the night with my mom this last Friday. He was explaining to my mom that he has a hard time remembering which hand is his right and which one is his left. In an attempt to help my son more easily remember which hand was which she says, "Just remember that the hand you WRITE with is your RIGHT hand. And the one that's LEFT is your LEFT hand."

Garrett thinks that's pretty cool except that he remembers something. "But Nana, I can write with both hands." he says.

"Really??", my mom asks him in wonderment.

"Yes", he begins, "but this hand (pointing to his left) is messier. It's not very smart."
