When I was like 5, I lived in my father's side grandparents house. I lived for a couple of years there and I have very shaky memories of my time there, like having a big dog that I roamed around with a garden with an outhouse, a chicken pen and a garden.

I think there was a pine tree as well.

So far nothing is different but I'm pretty sure from the street you could see a window in the rooftop that was supposed to be an attic room. I always wanted to climb up there but I couldn't find a way to enter. I once tried to climb the wall but when I did I just couldn't find the window.

Then when I checked the house from the outside the attic window wasn't there anymore.

My parents got divorced and I never went back to that house, but that memory stuck with me forever.

I was so curious to get up there and find what was inside that mysterious room !

My nails grow pretty quickly and I have to trim them weekly or I scratch myself when I close my hands.

Yet I almost never need to trim my toenails.

I researched a little and turns out my inkling was right on the money.

In average, toenails grow at half the rate than fingernails do. There are a number of factors involved like apparently being farther from the heart has them receiving less nutrients, but turns out the most important factor is how mechanical stress stimulates growth.

Since you are always using your hands to touch things, while the feet are tucked inside your shoes, they don't receive as much stimuli.

Simultaneously it explains why people that are always barefoot have those huge claw like toenails.
