    There is a child in my class who writes upside down! He turns the book the other way up, and it always turns out okay!
    I can read upside down, I've found it very useful at interviews, I can read what they're writing about me!! LOL!

    I am left handed and I used to that and write back to front:D

    The teachers in Spain insisted I wrote and drew with the right hand and my mother went mad that it is nothing and she should not be made to write with the right if that is not the natural way....left to it I grew out of it but still have some lovely upside down pictures that my mother kept:D
    i must remember to keep some upside down pictures and show her, thanks that sounds cute,when i was writing left handed my mum used to try and get me to hold it in the right because she was worried before i started school but the infant teacher told her it was fine for me to be left handed!!!

    I used to work with somebody who used her mouse upside down so that when she moved it left to right, the cursor moved right to left on the screen. She couldn't work properly if the mouse was the 'normal' way up!

    my son who is left-handed, also used to draw upside down. He even wrote backwards starting from the right hand side of the page to the left. He passed 11 gcses with good grades and is a talented artist with exceptional writing skills. His teacher said it was because he was bright, who knows.

    DS2 could do that, at 5 one of the teaching assistants was working with him, sat opposite him, and asked if he was reading what she was writing and he said "Yes, I am sneaky like that!" :rotfl:

    He still is sneaky, and I think he still reads upside down as well!

    I think there was a article soemwhere that showed drawing upside down is the right way to draw as you transfer the image more accurately.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    My daughter went through a stage of doing perfect 'mirror writing' and then just grew out of it. My mum still has a beautifully written thank you letter, about 8 lines long which when held to a mirror is perfect

    My DD might make the odd post for me

    I have an art book that talks a little about drawing upside down. Apparantly when an image is turned upside down our brain processes it differently, even if the image is familiar, and we tend to concentrate on light, shadows, and shapes. Drawing this way is supposed to produce better results than drawing the right way up. Perhaps I should give it a try.
