Crooked Pinkies

In the collision of Gilbert and Rogers genes, Libby, Sarah and I emerged a thorough mixture. One of the few traceable features, however, can be observed in our pinky fingers. When we turn our palms towards us, with pinkies pressed together, Daddy and I have pin-straight little fingers. In perpetuation of my mother’s genes, Libby and Sarah’s pinkies align only to veer away from each other at forty-five degree angles from the top knuckle. Though the bent-fingers have the majority in our family, their lack of representation in the general population denotes Crooked Pinky Syndrome as a defect of sorts.
