17 Things You’ll Only Understand If You Have Toe Thumbs

Growing up, I’ve always been embarrassed by my thumbs. Not only are they short and stubby, but they are actually–without a doubt–toe thumbs. Some people who have toe thumbs (or clubbed thumbs) are blessed enough to have just one. I, on the other hand, have been cursed with two. Two short, stubby, toe-looking thumbs.
And, while I remain insecure at nail salons, annoyed when my boyfriend yells “MERP” at my thumb, and remind myself Megan Fox is in my corner, there are some things me and my fellow toe-thumb-sisters can relate to.

17. You’re always insecure when people notice your thumbs for the first time.

16. Going to the nail salon is a bit of a buzz-kill.

15. Especially if you’re someone who likes to get acrylic nails (none of them fit).

14. But, we stan our toe-thumb queen Megan Fox.

13. You get self-conscious when you take pictures holding something.
