I was born with my index and middle toes webbed together like my father's toes. People were always (and still are) fascinated by them and asked how they came to be. My dad always told me that when I was a toddler I'd eaten too much candy and they stuck together. That's what I always believed from then on and I could never understand why people would giggle when I'd repeat this.
