Touch Toes Day

Bend and Stretch, Reach for the Stars


I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "I haven't touched my toes (or been able to) in years - except maybe to trim my nails."

I was right, was I not?

Yes, one of the ways to celebrate Touch Toes Day means standing or sitting with legs stretched to full length and attempting to bend at the waist and with arms extended touch your toes with your fingers.

However, you may have already noticed that this is one of those ambiguous special days.

The word "your" is conspicuously missing from the official name of this day, so yes, you could celebrate by touching the toes of someone or something else.

If you choose to touch someone else's toes, be careful. The same goes for an animal. (I'll say no more.)

Many objects have feet. Why don't more of them also have toes?
