Funny you should mention this my DS is the same way his hand writing looks psychotic and i can hardly get him to write anything however the boy can build a computer in his sleep so i have to pick my battles in that arena. Not to mention i was looking through his room and I found an index card on it with handwriting nicer than mine. The card held game codes for Grand Theft Auto, and my boy had written them with his own hand. So it wasn't that he couldn't do it just that he didn't find it necessary for which i am thankful.
