Why does the baby toe have a nail? Look at the thing. What's it doing there? Not protecting much, that's for sure. Ugly as all hell. I'm sure you could rip it off and your foot wouldn't even mind.
It's like the Pluto of toenails. Way out on the edge. Not even a planet. Just a big hunk of mess floating around for no good reason.
It's time scientists took away the status of the baby toenail as a nail. It's a toe tumour. Remove it at birth. Pedicurists should refuse to even touch it.
