    My mom has longer second toes, and she always said “It’s a sign you’re descended from royalty.” She also said stuff like “An ancestor ran away with an Indian princess” and “We’re descended from Sir Francis Drake” so my mom, though I love her, does not have a fully-functioning bullshit sensor.

        The toe thing was definitely a little tongue-in-cheek, but the other two she seemed to fully believe. When I pointed out that Drake didn’t have any children, or at least not legitimized, she acted confused and said it was something that the family had always said. Well… someone was bullshitting someone!

      I’ve only ever broken one bone… And it was the tip of my second toe on my right foot.

        All I’m hearing is that you guys have inferior skeletal systems which is completely unrelated to the toe length

          Your big toe is the protector. Have you never stubbed your toe? Now imagine that the little one is the one that gets hit instead. Snap.

            I stub my toes constantly. I also have a longer second toe than big toe. Still have never broken a bone in my feet or anywhere else, for that matter.
