The human mind is an incredible thing. When I was teaching school (first grade) many of my students could write their names backwards--like you would see in a mirror. Their parents would be all upset, but I told them they would right themselves in a few months. Maturity takes care of things like that, usually. Knowing the developmental stages of children helps us not to panic. And maturity is not a race, either.
I love Mind Benders and brain puzzles. More to come.
Don't forget you have a couple days left to enter for Patti Lacy's book, An Irishwoman's Tale.

I'm a big fan of Mind Benders and brain puzzles myself so I can't wait to see more :)
Hi Crystal -
I love all the puzzles and quizzes you post. Such fun! And you're right - I was able to read your entire paragraph with no problem.
Blessings,
Susan :)
I enjoyed this one.
Dyslexics untie!
I love that joke since I'm mildly affected by dyslexia and dyscalcula (or majorly if I'm super tired!) It's amazing how God designed our minds to compensate for so many things! His gift to me of a love for reading helped me learn to "see", despite writing, speaking and hearing things backwards sometimes (to this very day!). Throw in the fact I'm blonde and left-handed and it's a wonder I can function!! LOL
