The Sound of One Hand

We've yet to solve the riddle of the sound of one hand clapping.

LS has necessitated the adoption of some monomanual skills that were unexpected however.

Top of the list is one hand washing. This happens post diaper change while still holding LS with the clean hand. One hand can wash itself pretty well it turns out. So much for the saying about bipartisan hand cleansing technique.

Next on the list is one hand typing. This is a skill especially picked up by dad. One wonders what a keyboard optimized for one handed usage might look like. Well, like a cell phone maybe.

Some mild success has also been made in the areas of monomanual lunch preparation, dressing, and cat feeding.

Topping the list of failures - leaf raking.

  1. It’s safe to say then that not all of the inhabitants of ahem, Yardman, Ma, are being ridiculed by aliens for picking up fallen leaves and placing them in brown paper bags.
