Which Shoe Do You Put On First?

I was reading a Q&A blog post this morning, and one of the questions was "Which shoe do you put on first?"

Left. The answer is the left shoe.

I thought about my morning routine and realized I'm not sure why my left shoe is the one I always put on first. Is it because I'm left-handed? How does my brain always repeat this cycle?

Then I started thinking about how I put on my pants ... one leg at a time ... but which leg goes in first? Also the left.

Random, yes, but just something to think about today.
