So, the other day on the radio they were playing a game called Fact or Fiction. On this game, the DJ said that it is a fact that most sets of twins have opposite handiness. That means that one twin is a righty and the other twin is a lefty. That to me sounds crazy - however, I think it's true because my boyfriend is a fraternal twin. My boyfriend is a righty and his brother is a lefty. I am wondering if this really holds true or is this just a coincidence? They are the only set of twins that I know personally...what about you?

This is interestin to hear. I will have to see about this when my twins are old enough to show a dominant hand. I have 14 month old fraternal twins.
I wonder if genetics have anything to do with it? My dad is left handed (actually is ambidexstrous). My husband and I are both right handed.
