              I made the comment and I am wracking my brain for what I originally meant.

              I think what happened is this: I, a left-handed person, incorrectly identified the Michigan mitten as being a left-handed mitten rather than a unisex (for hands), and then I mistakenly misidentified the actual hand itself as being a right hand.

              With these two thunderously incorrect facts in hand, I made a joke that implies that ‘of course a righty dominated world would be unable to even see how a left-handed mitten could be mitten shaped.’

              Only it was a confusing joke because (a) a common feature of mittens is that they can fit on either hand and (b) the hand in the mitten was a left hand anyway.

              At least I think that’s what happened. I was pretty high then, and well, I’m pretty high now too.
