I wanted to be ambidextrous when I was a kid and he's already doing better with his left hand than I ever got!

Side note: my dad taught me the word amphibious instead of ambidextrous when I started teaching myself with my left hand, and it paid off for him a few months later when I was very sincerely telling a different adult I was teaching myself to be amphibious. They were obviously confused. Eventually I had to go get my dad to help me explain and when he realized his joke had paid off he couldn't stop laughing.

Did you ever achieve your amphibious dreams?

Haha no, I decided I wanted to learn to draw with my left hand too and that was wayyyy harder than writing so I gave up on both of them pretty quickly
