Warning: You’re probably about to think far too hard about something simple and dumb.

At some point during the baseball season, I was standing and clapping at Nationals Park next to my mom and younger brother.  I’m left-handed, they’re both righties, and we noticed that the two groups had opposite ways of holding our hands when clapping.

Put as simply as I can in words, I clap my left hand into my right, while they clap their right hand into their left.  Maybe video is a better way of doing this:

You don’t have to tell me how many times you clapped to figure it out, but please let me know your handedness and how you clap either in the comments here or Facebook or Twitter or by mailing me a letter.  I’m really curious to see the results!

And if you’re not worn out from all of that, we also discussed at the same game our methods for crossing our arms — that is, which one goes in front, and which behind.

I do it like this with my left arm in front:

If I remember correctly my mom also does it that way while my brother does the opposite, like this:

Happy Saturday.
