Two Unrelated Lessons

The first lesson I’ve mentioned before: use the subjunctive with “if.” The kid doesn’t, which is incorrect. First panel:
He should say “If I were left-handed.” “If” implies contrary to fact, hence the need for the subjunctive.
So what’s the answer to his question? Could he be left-handed and right-footed? Yes! Herein lies lesson two, a vocabulary lesson. When you are right-one thing and left-another thing, that’s called being cross-dominant. I happen to be cross-dominant—right-handed and left-eyed, so that’s how I know.
What about you? Might you be cross-dominant?
