My wife spent several hours yesterday looking for her little, green ceramic teapot. We’ve been married eight years and I don’t remember ever seeing it.
I’m left handed and was once given a left handed coffee cup for Christmas. There was a hole through the cup at the top edge . If you used it with your left hand nothing dripped, but if you used it with your right hand coffee ran out the hole which was now properly positioned!
As a lefty I find mugs with witty sayings sometimes have the handle on the wrong side. It doesn’t work if the mug says, “You will die if you talk to me before coffee,” and the message faces me as I hold my cup. I get blood on my mug, and surprised looks from the dying.
My dad’s travel mug was a lefty. When the cover was on, you had to use your left hand to drink. His “World’s Greatest Grandpa” mug was a right hand one. When you used the right hand, everyone could read the mug. If you used the left hand, only he could read it!

She should go to a thrift store and buy him a sippy cup with handles on both sides.

Sounds like Arlo is useless until he’s had his caffeine fix.

A thing like that can ruin your entire day.

A left handed mug in a right handed world, OH MY

The handle is not on the wrong side….
I was once given a mug with the handle on the inside.
That’s the wrong side.
Even then, as long as the hole is on the top, it’ll work.
If you were ever so sleepy you tried to pour coffee into your mug with the hole on the bottom,
that’s when you found out what doesn’t work.

Just sit on the other side of the table, Arlo.

Absolutely nothing wrong with left handled mugs, I’ve used them all my life.

Well, Arlo could drink out of the pot, it’s right handed.

While building a house, the new carpenter kept tossing the nails.
“Why are you throwing away all those nails?”
“Because the head is on the wrong end.”
“Silly fellow. Those are for the other side.”

There were two West Virginian carpenters working side by side; one noticed that the other was frequently throwing nails over his shoulder.
“Why’re ya throwin’ nails away?”
They’s no good; they gots the head on the wrong end."
“See, that’s why them Ohio folks talk about dumb West Virginians – them’s for the other side of the room!”
(yes, I grew up in SE Ohio – we tell WV jokes there; I learned most of mine from my two West Virginian grandfathers………)

I have a mug that reads “My name is Inigo Montoya. You drank my coffee. Prepare to die.”
