Have you ever meet anyone who had polydactyly?
You mean the pokemon? Yes! Do you have one?
No, I mean polydactyly. It means having an extra digit.
Oooh sorry. I never met anyone like that! Isn't it cool that people can have an extra digit?
It is cool. The opposite of that is called oligodactyly meaning fewer fingers and toes.
Does oligodactyly have to be from birth? Is it also called that if the finger or toe was lost from injury?
It is a very rare medical condition so I'm guessing you have to be born with it
I see. I wonder if the extra digit is a bonus in some tasks, like piano!
I've never thought of that. I"m guessing it would get in the way
Maybe I could ask that question if one day I meet someone with an extra digit!
