It’s Right…Right?
This person has trouble recalling something most of us take for granted. They have always had the hardest time recalling the directions “left” and “right” off the top of their head! Having a memory gap like this doesn’t mean they’re dumb at all. It just means this information probably didn’t get hardwired when they were younger.
They eventually remember the right word for the direction they want to say, but they have to think about it for a bit. As a result, many strangers assume they’re dumb, which is absolutely not true! One person suggested looking at the back of their hands and sticking out their thumbs. The hand that is L-shaped is left. A pretty neat way to remember!
