In the beginning when Adam met Eve beneath the canopy of paradise they agreed on most things. They basked in the perfection of all that surround, laughing at each other's jokes. One day Adam carved a gift for Eve. Tirelessly wildling the branch of an oak tree. "Tools", he boosted as she stroked the small utensils. "I'll call them forks," said Eve happily setting the table. What came next sparked an age old debate, as Eve grasped her fork in the left hand, Adam in his right. "What are you doing?" he vexed, scratching his head. "That hand is incorrect!" "Tis not my sweet, it is the hand I use to eat, I am in my right mind my dear, you are the uncultured one here!" And so it began, as they reproduced. Cain was right handed as was Seth, but poor Able was born with his mother's fondness for left.
