Parent's Poll: Right or Left?

By , About.com Guide   April 11, 2011

Follow me on:

Right or left? No, I'm not asking about your political leanings. I'm talking about hand preference.

Are your twins right handed or left handed? My twins are one of each. I never gave it much thought as my husband is left handed while I am right handed, so I just assumed that our twin daughters took after us. However, I was surprised to learn that handedness is not necessarily a genetic trait. Many monozygotic (identical) twins -- such as my own -- who share the same genetic markers actually have different handedness preferences.

What about your twins? Take this week's Parent's Poll and "hand" in your vote!
