When I was feeling confident about counting up to 20 I began to count how many fingers people had - I always thought that the number of fingers depended on how old these people were but when I counted them I always ended up with 5. I was dissappointed UNTIL I made my mind up to give it another try; I tried to count my father's fingers and I had 6! I was so happy and loved my father for having 6 fingers!
This is embarrassing.
