Fingers four-one thumb per upper limb
Lower limb -toes five (the big one is just that a big toe!)

The seven year old is correct. There are 4 fingers and a thumb on each hand.

She's right !! You have 4 fingers on each hand and a thumb. You lose the argument.

Most humans have 2 little fingers, 2 index fingers, 2 middle fingers, 1 ring finger, 1 un-named finger, and 2 THUMBS.

8 if you don't count the thumb 10 if you do, 20 if you count all toes as fingers also, 18 if you count all toes but no thumbs.

Eight. The seven year old is right, sorry. If you were talking digits then ten or if you were from Springfield then six.
