When they were young, both of my sons exhibited signs of being left-handed. But while my older son naturally phased through stages of being ambidextrous and ultimately favored his right hand for writing, eating, ball-throwing and such, my younger son has remained a lefty for just about everything. (One exception is golf: he first picked up clubs at about 3 years of age, before his handedness was well established, and has continued to play as a righty.)
My curiosity about lefties is probably similar to my mother's feelings about twins: I didn't know much about why some people are left-handed and how they are different until it was clear that my child would always favor his left hand. So I found this article, video and series of comments about lefties in the Wall Street Journal to be rather interesting.
