Like a grown person with a tiny arm, hand included.

Sounds like something Karl Pilkington would talk about.

Yesterday my sister and I were on a tram coming down from a mountain and she was whispering something to me about another passenger. When we got down I said "I was ignoring you because I didn't want the woman with the babyarm to think we were talking about her babyarm." My sister had no idea the woman had a babyarm and almost started crying after I presented to her a scenario where the woman overheard her whispering, went home and cried, then hung herself.

How would you approach that? "Touch me with the weird hand."

I had a girlfriend with a lazy eye (not Paris Hilton) and we never discussed it. I was into it. I dug the eye.

When I was in college I worked at Burger King, and one of the managers had a baby arm. The teeny hand on the end of it had a few semi-developed fingers on it, and some assorted lumps with fingernails growing out of them. I always worked twice as hard when he was on the clock, because if we got behind on orders he'd swing his tie over his shoulder and come back into the kitchen and help.

His burger-making process was to flop a piece of cheese onto his weird stub arm, balance it on there while he slowly assembled half of the burger with his human hand, flip the cheese off of his baby arm and onto the sandwich, then pass it down to me to finish up.

Just thinking about that greasy room-temperature cheese slipping around on his pseudo-hand before falling into people's food still turns my stomach.

I have tiny pinky toes. All I know is that it's not genetic because everyone else in my family has normal feet.

I know this thread isn't called "My face is too small for my head"...

Just think for a minute or three.


Also, thanks to no one for actually coming to town with some causes for said affliction.

Its simply a way for them to hold on to their youth.

If this was the 90's, would these people be saying "talk to the babyhand, sista, coz i ain't listenin'"? Or would they use their regular hand for that?

This thread rules.
