I was born with carpenters thumbs which are thumbs that basically look a lot like toes. So when I was little and asked my mom why my thumbs looked like my toes she replied by telling me "You were born with 6 toes on each foot and no thumbs, so the doctors decided to removed the extra toes and attach them to your hands so your life could be more normal." It scared me, but now that I know it's not true I can con other people into believing it. And they do!! :P
