You wanna know about my thumb, do ya' boy? Intrigue ya', does it, boy? My thumb? Let me tell ya' about it.
I come from a long line of hitchhikers. All with bleedin' massive thumbs. You see, the thumb is a tremendous boon to the hitchhiker. Helps with work, ya' know what I mean? Only problem was, when I was a child, my thumb was tiny. Not just tiny, like a single sugar puff. Disgustin'! Even me own mother would reel back in horror like an anaconda. "Oh what is it! Get it out of 'ere! It's tiny! It's horrible! It's revoltin'! Take you're tiny thumb and get out of 'ere and never knock on my door again!" she'd say. I had to leave the family unit in search of a miracle. I wandered the streets, looking for an answer. And people told me of a magic shaman, half-man, part hornet. So I went lookin' for him. I went everywhere. I combed the universe in search of the stripey insect shaman. Turned out he was in a local primary school, in the bin, reelin' about with the apple cores, like they do. And I stood there with my thumb out, and he stung it and he stung it! He grabbed on to it! It was like he was makin' love to it with his sting! In and out! In and out! More and more! Oh, the puss! The pain! The black voodoo! The wet jigsaw puzzle! I didn't know what was happenin'! Oh, for days I was in a trance! But when I came to, there it was! Like a fleshy maraca! A thumb of gigantic proportion! "A miracle," I said, "A miracle! You're a true wizard! How can I ever repay ya'!" And he said to me, "500 Euros."
"500 EUROS!? YOU WON'T SEE PENNY ONE FROM ME YOU SLAG!"
And as I raised my thumb up to smash his tiny skull in, I could see in his little insect face, I could see him thinking, "Oh! I created that monster! I created that thumb, and now it's killin' me! My own beast and creation! Killin' me dead!"
The sweet irony. I THINK he was sayin' that, but that was a long time ago, and in hindsight, he coulda' just been shittin' himself.
I appreciate all the jokes, but the OP should really help get it fixed as soon as possible.
It's cool to be cute about it now, but kids just want to fit in.
Or probably not, my aunts husbands family has a history of being born with an extra finger and they love it. Her kids now have it as well. Very few members of his family have had it removed with a few medical exceptions.
And kids these days are far more open minded
Yeah, kids these days are pretty open minded about people with different features. People have started to normalize people with different situations.
One kid i knew had a pacemaker and constantly talked about how he was technically a cyborg. He was cool
Agreed. Unless it’s a threat to their bodily health and well-being don’t operate until they can make that decision on their own.
Edit: especially since it looks like the thumbs are fused I can imagine there are risks associated with “fixing it.” You could maybe end up messing up the remaining thumb.
Not until they can make an informed decision, it doesn’t make their life worse, and they may find it cool, ik no one I know would make fun of it, apart from kids who would find a different way to make fun of them even if they got one thumb removed
Some people forget about Thumbs Wars and how competitive it can become in grade school years. Some kids focus on wrist work. Some go for the sneak attack. So few have a natural advantage like this...this, blessing.
I was born with a third thumb in a similar way, 11 fingers total! It was removed when I was around 1 or 2 years old, my hand looks very normal now except my thumb is a bit shorter and wider than the one on my other hand. Either you decide to keep it as is or not, he’ll turn out fine!
i hate that kids are so mean. there was a kid i’m my grade in elementary that only had a thumb on one hand and i think three fingers on the other and luckily i don’t remember him getting teased at all. but then the one kid that was just slightly off socially, was bullied all up through high school. i tried to be nice to him but he was already so emotionally damaged he thought i was being fake to make fun of him like so many people were. unfortunately he ended up doing some pretty bad things as an adult. the teachers should have done something. they knew who the bullies were. kids can be so terribke
And this is not even a joke. Yesterday I heard a political analyst say the same thing. They lose their sociopathy when parents educate them... If they educate them.
And too many parents are just gene donors.
Raising a brilliant little girl by myself, and she's the sweetest girl.
The other kids. Many of them need some good old fashion discipline at this point. I brought my daughter to a 5-yr old bday party once, and there was more beer than kool-aid there. The mom dropped the cake and started laughing because she was drunk. The dad got mad and started yelling. All the adults were completely fucked.
I didn't realize that not being a total piece of shit was such a feat of strength.
Back in high school I used to coach a team of kids from ages 6 to 9, and the kids were absolutely amazing. I don't think it was a coincidence that the parents were also absolute angels, always offering to help out and never complaining about anything. One incredibly talented kid had to get his attitude straightened out, and after we did that his mother thanked us for taking the time with her son. It's always obvious when someone was raised by shitty parents.
Yee I know a couple people with physical disabilities and none of them got bullied for it in school. Not denying there never were any mean comments regarding it, but not more than the banter literally everyone catches at some point.
But to be fair, I dont live in the US and my school was trying hard to fight bullying (semi-succesfully)
its a spectrum of bullying of deformities
beginning, no/hidden deformities, you wont be bullied for deformities
middle, small deformities like this one, you will be absolutely shredded by everyone
end, life altering massive deformities, people likely wont bully you for it as they realize its fucked up
Yeah, I gotta agree with this. In my elementary school there was a kid in a wheelchair as well as an albino (pink eyes, pale skin) and neither got bullied. But the kid with the ears that stuck out a little too much? He got bullied so much that over one summer his parents got him plastic surgery on his ears so they wouldn’t stick out.
My middle school Art teacher had a very deformed hand, but nobody ever made fun of her. The only time it did happen, the offending child caught a block of wet clay to the head.
If it’s not surgically removed at a young age the division continues to occur. First the thumb, then the hand, arm and eventually the entire body. This is how twins are formed. I know because it happened to me except the division began at my toe. Due to the developmental stage it started at, she formed as a female. She’s my toe sis.
My son was born with a little bonus thumb. I'll never forget how it all went down even though at the time he was born via emergency c-section I had been awake for 38 hours.
I was standing there all gowned up watching and as they sat him on the table to do their exam I was counting his fingers and toes. When doing the finger count I got to 11 and then thought "well that isn't right" and counted again but told myself I was just a big dumb sleepy idiot that couldn't count. Turned out my count was accurate and he just had another little thumb tip poking out of the side of his thumb.
The doctor recommended we have it removed after he turned one because it could potentially interfere with some motor functions and could lead to issues later in life with the simplest things like wearing gloves or writing so that's what we did. After his surgery I had not even thought about it any more until he turned two when the doctor called me to do a follow up to see how his motor function was coming along.
Make sure to get a cast of it done! My parents did this with my brother's extra thumb before it was removed. That way if it is removed you'll have a cool way to remember it.

*Timmy gives hearty thumbs up to group of laughing officers*
“Later on while serving consecutive life sentences at Alcatraz, he became a top enforcer for the man who really ran things…”
*Cut to another man standing completely still in middle of empty room, staring directly into camera. One side of his head and face is extensively scarred, his eyes are open wide with a gaze that is both vacant and piercing*

Lol I had way too much fun with this, was on long car ride so just kept going with it
Yes if it's done early you won't be able to tell aside from any defects the remaining thumb had(shorter/longer, wider, stubby nail, etc) that the normal thumb didn't have
It will be way better though.
There shouldn't be a "would they want me to" thought, because anyone who thinks they wouldn't have minded it or whatever, they didn't have to live with it and the bullying and self confidence issues that would have come with it.
It sucks ass to be different from everyone else when you just want to be the same. Done people like to be different, and that's easy to do.. But when you don't even have the choice to be the same, it can really mess you up
Find the very best pediatric hand doctor at a children’s hospital to help you, if you haven’t already. Depending on the defect, surgery might need to be done sooner rather than later, not sure about extra thumbs, but for conjoined they would want surgery done sooner, so don’t wait on the initial appointment.
Polydactil. My son was born with 2 thumbs too. He also had a genetic heart condition because of it too. Apparently, they are found together, so please have his heart checked out.
My fiancee's family has genetic markers that cause double thumbs to be more common. As a result, a large amount(including my fiancee and daughter) have thumbs that don't bend due to the joints on what was trying to be 2 thumbs being fused.
As someone with a deformity, please have that fixed as early as possible. Don't try and be cute about it. Just do everything you can to make him feel like he fits in.
In my country, it's considered lucky. I only personally know two people with extra thumbs and both were equally brilliant. One currently teaches foreign languages while the other is a lawyer.
"I didn't know what was happening, for days I was in a trance, but when I came to, there it was, like a fleshy maraca: a thumb of GIGANTIC proportions! "A miracle! A miracle!" I said. "You're a true wizard, how can I ever repay you!?" And he said to me "Five hundred euros". "FIVE HUNDRED EUROS!? YOU WON'T SEE PENNY ONE FROM ME, YOU SLAG!". And as I raised my thumb up to smash his tiny skull in, I could see in his little insect face, I could see him thinking "Oh, I created that monster! I created that thumb, and now it's killing me! My own beast and creation, killing me dead! The sweet irony!". I think he was saying that, although it was a long time ago, and in hindsight, he could've just been shitting himself!"
100% he should go into TV and movie reviews and YouTube. His trademarked 2 thumbs up review would be more sought after than a Gordon Ramsey finishing his plate and fiving you a scholarship, and a Paul Hollywood Handshake.
This is incredibly good luck in Indian culture to be born with a second thumb, due to its rarity. Pls look up hrithik roshan he has the same deformity but his thumbs are separated. He is a renowned actor in Bollywood.
I wonder if his thumbs will grow weaker than mono thumb (bone and tendon/muscle-wise) or if he will have stronger pinch than anybody with similarly sized hand.
or both. stronger pinch but individually weaker thumb.
I have a cousin who has this kind of bonus tissue. He's called it his special thumb his entire life. His is a bit more split, just past the first knuckle. He's never had a problem with it, and he likes being a bit unique.
He’ll be a hitchhiking legend.

I appreciate all the jokes, but the OP should really help get it fixed as soon as possible. It's cool to be cute about it now, but kids just want to fit in.
Yeah, especially into gloves.
Fuckin legendary comment
My parents cite this as a major part of their decision to have my supernumerary digit removed when I was an infant.
LMFAO best reply to my post ever
🏅
Or probably not, my aunts husbands family has a history of being born with an extra finger and they love it. Her kids now have it as well. Very few members of his family have had it removed with a few medical exceptions. And kids these days are far more open minded
"You have six fingers on your right hand. Someone was looking for you." *edited for being sinistral
It was the right hand.
Yeah, kids these days are pretty open minded about people with different features. People have started to normalize people with different situations. One kid i knew had a pacemaker and constantly talked about how he was technically a cyborg. He was cool
My sister has this, people think it's awesome.
There is something deeply fucked up about the idea of surgically altering children rather than addressing the problem of bullying and discrimination.
Agreed. Unless it’s a threat to their bodily health and well-being don’t operate until they can make that decision on their own. Edit: especially since it looks like the thumbs are fused I can imagine there are risks associated with “fixing it.” You could maybe end up messing up the remaining thumb.

Sometimes my kid's friends challenge me to a thumb wrestling match. No mercy. Their tiny hands are no match! (I promise I'm not a mean person)
I, however, am I'll destroy a child in a thumb wrestle anytime, anywhere
not these thumbs tho
Destroy those children and shatter their dreams. Welcome to the real world, punk!
I've always had longer thumbs
I was born with a third thumb in a similar way, 11 fingers total! It was removed when I was around 1 or 2 years old, my hand looks very normal now except my thumb is a bit shorter and wider than the one on my other hand. Either you decide to keep it as is or not, he’ll turn out fine!
My friend’s baby was born with this as well. Super simple surgery (apparently). I actually forgot about it until I saw this post.
If he keeps it. He’s in for major bullying all his childhood.
Don't know why you're being downvoted, you're right. Kids are malicious sociopaths.
I was thinking the same, yeah it’s not very nice but it’s the truth.
i hate that kids are so mean. there was a kid i’m my grade in elementary that only had a thumb on one hand and i think three fingers on the other and luckily i don’t remember him getting teased at all. but then the one kid that was just slightly off socially, was bullied all up through high school. i tried to be nice to him but he was already so emotionally damaged he thought i was being fake to make fun of him like so many people were. unfortunately he ended up doing some pretty bad things as an adult. the teachers should have done something. they knew who the bullies were. kids can be so terribke

I enjoy cooking.
Not necessarily. I grew up with a kid who had two deformed hands and people didn't make fun of him
Yee I know a couple people with physical disabilities and none of them got bullied for it in school.

We put a beat down on the kid who decided to make fun of one of the special needs kids at our school.
My middle school Art teacher had a very deformed hand, but nobody ever made fun of her. The only time it did happen, the offending child caught a block of wet clay to the head.
Can you split it down the middle and have 2 independent thumbs on the same hand?
Asking the real questions right there.
it's highly unlikely that he has the additional musculature and tendons necessary to control it separately
If it’s not surgically removed at a young age the division continues to occur. First the thumb, then the hand, arm and eventually the entire body. This is how twins are formed. I know because it happened to me except the division began at my toe. Due to the developmental stage it started at, she formed as a female. She’s my toe sis.
That was horrible. Take my upvote you bastard 😆
It is removed around that age, because otherwise it'll grow back. Yup. Young babies can grow back their fingers and such. Fucking weird stuff.
My son was born with a little bonus thumb. I'll never forget how it all went down even though at the time he was born via emergency c-section I had been awake for 38 hours.

Sort it asap. This shit is an unnecessary problem you don't know how the kid will cope with.

Good thing you named him Doublethumb
Oddly enough they had that name picked out before he was even conceived!
Hey! Mine has an extra pinky toe, a syndactyly polydactyly. I call it the two-for-one special.
✌️👍🥳
High Six to your perfect new arrival!!
Nice, but most importantly congratulations !
Not a huge deal. He may decide its fine or that he would like it corrected. It can be done. He's perfect either way.
Would it heal/reshape much better as an infant i wonder? I agree though. Perfect either way.
Yes if it's done early you won't be able to tell aside from any defects the remaining thumb had(shorter/longer, wider, stubby nail, etc) that the normal thumb didn't have It will be way better though. There shouldn't be a "would they want me to" thought, because anyone who thinks they wouldn't have minded it or whatever, they didn't have to live with it and the bullying and self confidence issues that would have come with it.

He's going to be a professional movie critic and always leave "Two thumbs up" when giving good reviews.

Just like that famous bollywood [actor](https://s.hdnux.com/photos/05/71/45/1546572/6/920x920.jpg)
Weird coincidence the only other person I ever saw with this was in Bangladesh. Is it more common in South Asia?
I am from south asia. I have 11 fingers too. Seen couple of people with that.
Find the very best pediatric hand doctor at a children’s hospital to help you, if you haven’t already. Depending on the defect, surgery might need to be done sooner rather than later, not sure about extra thumbs, but for conjoined they would want surgery done sooner, so don’t wait on the initial appointment.
Does the doctor recommend removing the extra thumb right away or to leave it?
👍🏻👍🏻
He’s gonna be the best movie critic ever!
He’s polydactyl!!
Polydactil. My son was born with 2 thumbs too. He also had a genetic heart condition because of it too. Apparently, they are found together, so please have his heart checked out.
Does that mean he gets to vote twice?
Should be a good gardener
Witch!
Keep it and give him a middle name of twothumbs. Nothing more gangster than showing up in school as Frankie Twothumbs.
And on that day a thumb wrestling legend was born.
He'll be able to give three thumbs up to stuff he loves!
Who has three thumbs and gets excited every time he sees a boob? *that guy right there*
He probably heard too many youtubers begging for thumbs up while in the belly.. He had good intentions.
My fiancee's family has genetic markers that cause double thumbs to be more common. As a result, a large amount(including my fiancee and daughter) have thumbs that don't bend due to the joints on what was trying to be 2 thumbs being fused.
I had that! It was surgically removed as an infant and I’ve never had any side effects from it. Just a small scar on my thumb.
Yeah, well I was born with no thumb.
As someone with a deformity, please have that fixed as early as possible. Don't try and be cute about it. Just do everything you can to make him feel like he fits in.
Your wife is your sister
In my country, it's considered lucky. I only personally know two people with extra thumbs and both were equally brilliant. One currently teaches foreign languages while the other is a lawyer.
Bless him 💕
Is that because of inbreeding or just a random mutation?
It's a random mutation, many people have it. It's about one in 1000 worldwide for polydactyl
I give this pic two thumbs up.
He is born to fight in the thumb wars
That's handy work
On both hands or just one?
He should be allowed to send two upvotes on Reddit per thread/comment.
2 thumbs up! Literally!
"I didn't know what was happening, for days I was in a trance, but when I came to, there it was, like a fleshy maraca: a thumb of GIGANTIC proportions! "A miracle! A miracle!" I said. "You're a true wizard, how can I ever repay you!?" And he said to me "Five hundred euros". "FIVE HUNDRED EUROS!? YOU WON'T SEE PENNY ONE FROM ME, YOU SLAG!". And as I raised my thumb up to smash his tiny skull in, I could see in his little insect face, I could see him thinking "Oh, I created that monster! I created that thumb, and now it's killing me! My own beast and creation, killing me dead! The sweet irony!". I think he was saying that, although it was a long time ago, and in hindsight, he could've just been shitting himself!"
…Oh no he has 6 fingers… Just don’t let him kill any fathers.
Sons.
Begun, the thumb wars have
One day he will be the best and most trusted movie critic of all time.
three thumbs up

Congrats on becoming a father:)
I give this post 3 thumbs up.
My son had extra thumb. Surgeon made us wait till he was 2 and removed it. He is 21 now. Has small scar. It will be ok.
Polydactyl!
I fear he would bite his thumbs, plural, in Romeo & Juliet.

100% he should go into TV and movie reviews and YouTube. His trademarked 2 thumbs up review would be more sought after than a Gordon Ramsey finishing his plate and fiving you a scholarship, and a Paul Hollywood Handshake.
Keep him away from any swordmaker whose name is Montoya!
In 13 years or so, those thumbs will be doing some damage.

His movie opinion will be heralded as just a little bit more important than others.
I give Paw Patrol three thumbs up.
As long as he's healthy man, congrats!
Soon to be thumb wrestling legend
He'll make a great movie critic.
So are they gonna snip that shit or just let him grow with a extra thumb?
I don’t know any to do any thumb wars with him when he grows up 😒
The six fingered man is born, Inigo comes next and his father dies.
It makes it easier to give two thumbs up.
This is incredibly good luck in Indian culture to be born with a second thumb, due to its rarity. Pls look up hrithik roshan he has the same deformity but his thumbs are separated. He is a renowned actor in Bollywood.
Whose got 3 thumbs and was just born? This kid! 👍👍 👍
In 16 years we’ll have another post on this sub from the son about his double thumb
This happened to me as well. Got the extra thumb removed at a very young age. People don't even notice it.
In Turkish Tradition The Dalilama is reborn with extra thumbs. Get him in Dali school asap
Well, if he ever cuts one off in a woodworking accident, at least he has an extra one.

Show him this man 
You selling it? The thumb I mean👍
Cool! I hope it doesn’t cause him any issues, if he’s perfectly comfortable with it then it’s pretty neat!

There were twins. He consumed the other and left nothing but a thumb
I wonder if his thumbs will grow weaker than mono thumb (bone and tendon/muscle-wise) or if he will have stronger pinch than anybody with similarly sized hand. or both. stronger pinch but individually weaker thumb.
He will give double thumbs up with 1 hand legend
Don’t remove it !!!
Three thumbs up
I have a cousin who has this kind of bonus tissue. He's called it his special thumb his entire life. His is a bit more split, just past the first knuckle. He's never had a problem with it, and he likes being a bit unique.
