WORD OF THE DAY:

Today’s word of the day is Toes and a few interesting facts about them are explained in the acrostic poem below.

The lower end, tip, or point of something is another definition for Toe.

Other names for toes is “fingers of the feet” or “digits”

Each toe consists of three phalanx bones, the proximal, middle, and distal, with the exception of the big toe

Some balance is lost when you lose a couple of your toes
