Default McKeon: Left-handed?

IS Nancy left-handed? or Right?

You can see her using her left in SCHOOLBOY FATHER

I believe that she is right handed. She might have done that for that character.

Hmm. But why would she pretend to be left-handed for the character?

Schoolboy father was an after-school special teaching teens, I guess, about preganacy. (Don;t count on my words, though)

SHE'S RIGHT HANDED. SHE WEARS HER WATCH ON HER LEFT HAND AND WRITES W/ HER RIGHT HAND, I HAVEN'T SEEN HER WRITE W/ HER LEFT. MAYBE SHE DID DO IT FOR HER CHARACTER. OR MAYBE SHE CAN WRITE W/ HER LEFT AS WELL. AMBITOUS OR SUMTHING LIKE THAT...LOL..OR MAYBE SHE WAS JUST SCRIBBLING. DID SHE WRITE A WORD ?

This topic has been debated before. I believe that someone once argued she actually used her left hand in an episode of FOL as well, although every episode I recall she wrote with her right hand...

Yeah, I noticed that in 'School Boy Father' aswell. She may have just done it to throw people off if she is ambidextrous, as I am. I always did that to my teachers in school. They'd walk by one time I'd be writing with my left... the next time I'd write with my right. You can be ambidextrous and have a dominate hand you write with which for her would be her right. Like I'm ambidextrous, but I write with my left hand mostly, although I can write with my right hand. I do everything like a right handed person cut, throw, everything besides write usually. So she very well could be ambidextrous.

If she wrote with her left hand for her character that wouldn't have made sense, but hey... lol.... Since she only had a couple short scenes in the movie and it wouldn't have made any difference if she was write or left handed. Unless she did it for more of a challenge, personally for herself.

Just my two cents, buh-bye now.

When I was little, I was right handed. But I wanted to be different from everyone lol, so I trained myself to be a leftie and write with my left hand. But, now I basically do everything with my left hand except write. Odd, huh?

I am right handed, but I am ambidextrous too, or whatever and I can right with my left hand, but it's just a lil harder. I'm trying to make my little sister who's 3 write with her left hand, but i think she's a righty. lol, oh well.

Sally: There are a few things I know for sure. Always throw spilt salt over your left shoulder, keep rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and fall in love whenever you can.

~*Sometimes I feel there is a hole inside of me. An emptiness that, at times, seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. And the moon tonight, there's a circle around it, a sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole - of not going to sleep each night wanting. But still, sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.*~
