SUBJECT: Parrot and my leftyness
Hello, I was hoping I could find some help here. My pet Parrot, Diddles, always eats with his left foot. When I eat my 'Cheetos' in the kitchen near where Diddles can see me, he will squawk and say "Wrong way, Wrong way, SQUAWK". I found this happened whenever I ate the 'Cheetos' with my right hand.

I have found that this has imprinted in me that I must always eat 'Cheetos' and other powder cheese covered snack puffs with my left hand. Is this healthy? It hasn't effected my handwriting yet, although I have been forced when I was paying bills to fill out my account number on my power bill (334-0001-1X455-2) with my left hand due to guilt from Diddles yelling at me.

Also, Diddles sometimes comes to me in my dreams and wants me to do things I wouldn't normally do. Should I change what hand I write with to please my pet parrot?
