Righty? Lefty? | 左撇?右撇?

Language: English | 中文
Monday, during the football class, when I was practicing kicking long ball, something happened. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't make the ball fly. Maybe just ten to fifteen meters, then the ball started falling, hitting the ground, then it began bouncing and rolling.

I couldn't believe it. It was my right foot! How come? And what was more, my right foot didn't feel right. It started aching, its ankle. Oh, my my...

So, I tried it with my left foot. At first, I just kept kicking it wide. But after few tries, well, suprisingly, I started to do it well. As if it was just a piece of cake! I just learnt how to kick the ball to the sky, all of a sudden, and by myself.

That was really odd. I am supposed to be a righty, although I use left foot to jump and left hand to bat and to use fork (and I occasionally use chopsticks with my left hand).

So, this afternoon, I told my friend about this. He said, well, you are a lefty. No, I'm not, and this is really full of it. I am having a test about kicking long ball and shooting penalty and something this Thursday. I only can hope my right foot will cure itself by that day. I don't know how to shoot penalty with my left foot...
