After telling my mother about a strange event in gym class, where I had to move to the 'left-handed' line, she got a very strange look on her face and confessed that when she saw me consistently reaching for the dangly things over my crib with my left hand, she tied those up out of the way so I would reach with my right hand. So I consider myself to have been born left-handed and converted (to some extent, but not completely) while still an infant.
