Family Traits

In my family, the Akard family, there is known to be such a thing as "the Akard toe." This indicates a big toe large enough and strong enough to grip miscellaneous items and pick them up from the floor, for example, or, more significantly, to be able to pinch your older sister (i.e. me) with your big toe and second toe so hard that it really hurts.

Sarabeth's fourth toe is "curly" like her daddy's, but she's pretty certain her big toe is "the Akard toe." Recently she was demonstrating the various abilities of her "Akard toe" for me, proudly claiming all the rights and privileges thereunto appertaining. After successfully completing several feats with her foot, she exclaimed, "No one prevails against my toe!"
