Boise, Idaho
I have a hard time telling right from left. Always have, always will.
My family knows, and they are always suspect of anything I tell them that involves directions.
But strangers don’t know that I’m directionally dyslexic.
So the other day while riding my bicycle along the Greenbelt they had no idea that when I told them, “On your RIGHT,” to kindly let them know that I was coming up behind them and was going to pass that I REALLY meant, “On your LEFT.”
I could not figure out why people kept stepping into my path. Nor could I figure out why I was getting dirty looks.
Finally after I about ran over the fourth person, I stopped at held up my hands to figure out which side the “L” was on.
Lo and behold, I had right and left backwards yet again…
Snort. That was funny. I feel directionally challenged when using workout videos. Wait, was that my right, your right, and did I just do the same side again… sigh.
Gawd, I would end up tongue tied and in knots if I tried those…
Kathy, the worst was Tai Chi. Ariel and I tried that because we thought the slow controlled movements would be good for her injury. The only problem is that we could not figure out what to do…. We finally gave up part way through as we were completely off whatever he was doing… I have done other exercise videos that weren’t as bad… I think it was because the movements were so foreign to me.
Tai Chi is only easy to say, not to do. 🙂
