At a recent luncheon, a right-handed attendee, shocked me with her observation that of the eight guests at our table, four of us were left-handed. This was the first time I'd ever had a right-hander comment on handedness. My assumption has always been that only left-handers notice, because right-handers don't even think of handedness. My immediate question was, "Do you have a left-handed child?". Not surprisingly, she does.
Left-handers have had life-long experiences of adapting to right-handed tools and processes, so we notice this difference. This awareness, or lack thereof, probably occurs with other subtle differences, as well. We can benefit from the attention to details and perspectives these differences provide.
