I have extremely petite thumbs and thus have a distinct handicap in the art of thumb wresting. In general, I try to avoid the game so as not to incite my fear of failure, but I will research the matter and get back to you.

From Wikipedia:

Thumb Wrestling Federation uses "Four, three, two, one, who will be the strongest thumb?"), the opponents proceed to attempt to pin (capture or trap) their opponent's thumb for five seconds (and often shouting something like 1, 2, 3, 4 I won a thumb war! or inky pinky 123!), while avoiding the same. The game itself is not necessarily fair: the length of the player's thumbs often contribute to an eventual victory, and left-handed opponents are often at a disadvantage if right hands are used. Also, a person with a double jointed thumb can move their thumb backwards more and avoid being trapped. In the 2000s, the term thumb wrestling has been used to describe non-verbal fighting using text messaging on cellular phones.

Also left-handed.  Never had a problem with it.  I feel that is misinformation put out to make left-handed people feel inferior.

First thing you need to do is contact CafeMom and demand that they issue a left-handed sweetpea. Your siggy is detrimental to your cause.
