It’s sort of cringy-cute when they put their shoes on the wrong foot, right? Like, you know it’s not going to kill them but if you did it, you’d wish you were immediately dead if you did it.

There it is, though. Dysleftia.

Honestly speaking? Throw enough fatigue and distraction on any person or parent and you and I both know that we would’t trust our left-right sense when it came to it. Right? Or left?
