I always hear this sentence -

"We don't care if it's a boy or a girl, as long as it is healthy. As soon as it's born we'll be counting those fingers and toes!"

When you tell someone the baby has arrived they ask "Is the baby healthy? Does it have ten fingers and ten toes?"

Ok, what is the obsession with fingers and toes? I couldn't care less if my child has an extra toe or is missing a finger. I want to make sure it doesn't have a hole in its heart! I want to make sure it can breathe! I want to make sure it doesn't have an auto-immune disease!

Fingers and toes? Sheesh, it can have webbed feet. I care about it living a healthy life, not about silly little cosmetic things like extra toes.
