Have anyone else heard of this? And is this true for everyone?
Since I was young, my mom (who is from Japan) told me something I consider some what of an old wives's tale. She passed away a few years ago so I'm unable to ask. Here it is:
If your big toe is shorter than your second toe, you will be taller than both your parents. However, if your second toe is shorter, you will be shorter than at least one parent.
My second toe is longer and I am taller than both my parents. It fall true for some friends but many of them are half Asian like me. I'm really curious if this is true for others...

My parents (russian immigrants) told me that if your 2nd toe was larger than your 2nd toe, that meant you would be the leader in your own house, haha.

Almost everyone I know has a longer second toe than the first. I think your mother, like zillions of others, was told this old wives tale growing up and passed it on to you.

My big toe is shorter, but I'm only taller than my mother. I've also heard that if your big toe is smaller: you're a good kisser, or you're bisexual. Needless to say I think there are better indications of what's what.

Second toe is longer than my big toe.
My mother is five foot tall.
My father is 6 foot 6.
I am 5 foot 6.
So it doesn't work for me since I shorter than my father--luckily--I'd be one tall female!

sometimes its genetics in my family on my dads side we have generics of our second tow being longer than our first but it doesnt mean you'll be taller than your parents mine is a tiny bit bigger and im not going to be taller than my dad cause hes over 6 feet tall!

wives tale, your characteristics are at random order, some are dominent genes and others are recessive, so it can just be a coincedence that it happend that way, i know in afghanistan that if your second toe is larger, it means ur wise, i think its just an old wives tale
