Handfeet

Back in the 1980's when my son was a toddler, we used to read this Dr. Seuss book Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb.  Oh how we loved that book.  One time he looked at one of the pictures in the book and said, "Momma, those monkeys have handfeet!"  That always stuck with me.  Handfeet.  Interesting.  Many years later I was telling my husband about this cute observation and he said, "Baby, that's what you have----handfeet!"  All of a sudden, my little boy's cute comment took on a different meaning.  Yes, I do wear a size 9 shoe, sometimes 9 1/2 and on the rare occasion I will choose a size 10, but that's beside the point.  It's my TOES he is talking about.  I guess when you grow up always looking down at your own feet, that's what is normal to you and anything different seems odd.  Now as I look around maybe I'm the "unique" one.  So I did what any self-respecting handfooted (feeted?) person would do.  I Googled.  I found that long toes, particularly having a 2nd toe longer than the big toe (as I do), was considered a sign of intelligence and beauty.  This trait was also associated with royalty. Heck, I even found out that the Statue of Liberty has toes like mine, or more correctly I have toes like her.  I think this proves my main point:  You can find plenty of information to support your point of view if you Google long enough.  Man I love Google.
