I had my nieces and nephews convinced for years that I had a tail.
Mrs. chipling and their parents played along with the ruse, it was great fun.

I arrested (years apart) two Mexican bricklayers who I could not cuff.  Forearm to thumb there was no taper.  Would have had to use leg irons instead of cuffs, but no use...they'd slide right off.

Monstrous wrists.  I told both "I can't cuff you, but I can dang sure shoot you if you act the fool.  You gonna be good?"  They were.  Whew!

My legs are all fubar.  

Had to wear braces on them as a toddler.  Basically, I have the same type of walk as Kathryn Heigl and Anna Kendrick.  

Throw in extremely skinny calves and ankles and fish belly white skin and you have why I'm VERY rarely ever in shorts outside of the house.

Also our kids were born with extra pinkies.  As was my husband and his brother and their father and his father, etc.  

Oldest and youngest had it on both hands.  Middle just had it on one.  

First 2 had them removed at 3 and 5 months old.  Youngest didn't have hers removed until right before Kindergarten so we have lots of pics.

I have Pectus excavatum as well. When I was 18ish I went through a whole series of tests and exams at the University hospital in Madison. The docs basically concluded it was unlikely to affect my physical health but surgery could be covered by insurance. The surgery to correct it was a pretty big deal too essentially breaking and or cutting all my ribs and repositioning them, leaving me bed ridden for many months. I only had short time left on my parents insurance and was at the end of puberty, so it was my choice to get the surgery or not. It was now or never. I chose to leave it. Many, many a body shot has been taken out of that hole lol

It's actually very common but you usually never know about it because typically they're removed at birth.  I think somewhere between 1 in 500 or 1 in 1000 births.  

And the genetic thing is the most common kind.  Otherwise there are environmental factors that can cause it or it's associated with some kind of syndrome with other issues as well.  

When I was pregnant with our oldest (we have all girls) we were kind of hoping maybe it was just on the male side (there hadn't been any girls born in generations so all we knew of were the boys having it) but, alas, it's a dominant thing.  I guess we'll have to wait and see when ours have their babies if girls pass it on as strongly as the boys do.  

When our first was born the midwife pointed it out and I said, "Oh no!"  I mean, I was laughing while I said it but I still feel horrible that it's forever documented on the birth video.  He just said, "See, we're so good we make them perfect AND with a little extra.

lol, that's not "poor" eyesight. Unsatisfactory. Maybe.

My defects:

T1D (genetic, I'm not a fatass)
Idiopathic Central Sleep Apnea
Idiopathic Hearing Loss (60% Left Ear, 70% Right Ear)
Truly poor eyesight. -17.25 Right, -17 Left.
Right right leg is 1/4" longer than the left.
Facial hair doesn't grow on the left side of my face. Which is awkward.
I also get cluster headaches. Which sucks.

Not really a body defect. I have a slight speech impediment that almost no one picks up on because I had therapy for it and I actively pay attention to my speech making sure it stay out. Mostly with “s” sounds.

If I have been drinking and am relaxed it comes out more and people probably mistake me for being more drunk than I am.

If you were to lay my ears (which stick out largely) against my head, where they touch my head, I grow no hair. Every person who has ever cut my hair asks me if I know. When my hair is long or short, it's not really noticeable. But when it's a normal length, it's pretty odd looking.

some sort of foot issue.  Dr said let him run around bare foot and it would self correct-it was either that or cutting a tendon or removing the toe (I think it was something stupid like my little toe curling under).  I suppose it did, kind of (still curls under a little, but never causes any real problems).  I have foot problems, but that is mostly do to bone fragments from partially crushed toes now.

I have dealt with that for 20+ years now.  Funny, I have not noticed it for a fairly decent amount of time now.  Changed my diet a little, that helped with inflammation, plus I don't go for 20 mile walks much anymore.

Heart murmur and joint hypermobility -  double-jointed and my knees spontaneously dislocate. The rest of the joints click and pop a lot. Fun.

Something actually fun that I got though is synesthesia, the color/grapheme version where letters have colors inside my head (though not on paper or screen).   I've had it as long as I can remember,  I first noticed it in about first grade. My nephew has it too.

Apparently it is some sort of extra brain connection or cross-linkage. Some people taste shapes or smell colors.
I'm happier than hell I only have the visual kind. It really helps with spelling since I can usually tell when the colors in a word are wrong LOL.
