Do The Left

Blake and I were talking the other night about teaching Addy to read. He mentioned wanting to watch to see if she had any dyslexic tendencies, because I am hilariously dyslexic. In fact my mother swore to my father that I would never learn the difference between my b's and d's. My father had to constantly reassure her that, yes indeed I would learn and by the time I got into college I would be sure to know the difference.
SO in preparing for my Sunday School lesson I prepared a cardboard shield and put the letters C.T.R. on it. Addy was watching me so I explained to her what I was doing and what the letters stood for. Choose The Right.
Later Sunday evening we got the shield out to play with it and show it to Blake. I asked Addy to tell me what the shield stood for and she confidently replied: "Do The Left!" We both laughed and agreed that we probably would be raising a dyslexic child too!
I don't know if she really dyslexic or not but I thought the story was funny enough to tell and everyone else who knows me well can laugh and now understand why I sometime say and read things funny and most of the time backwards!
