Sarah tagged me ages ago. (Funny, how the concept of "ages" has evolved, since in the big scheme, two weeks isn't that long. But it seems like it in this day of instant communication.) I finally deliver.
1) I have only 26 teeth. The other six have been removed.
2) My second toes are longer than my halluces.
3) I just learned that fancy word for the purpose of making this list.
4) My first language was Persian. Despite the fact that my mother is American.
5) I get annoyed by people who, when I refer to speaking Persian, say, "Oh, you mean Farsi?" My impression is that they think saying such makes them seem cultured, when it's really like saying, "Oh, you mean Espanol?" or, "Oh, you mean Deutsch?"
6) I do almost all of my grocery shopping at Whole Foods. Sometimes I feel compelled to justify that, but it will have to wait for another entry.
7) I think it's totally lame that NFL players are complaining about not getting disability benefits. They knew what they were getting themselves into: no one bills football as a gentle sport. And they were handsomely rewarded for their time on the field.
Since I've waited so long, I won't tag any else. Unless you're one of the few who hasn't done this, and is interested in doing so. Leave a comment so I can read your randomness.

... my Indian colleagues insist that when a woman's second toe is bigger than the "big one" (the hallux, a new word for me, too!), it's a sign that she is (or will be) the boss of her husband.
