When you count with your fingers do you start with your thumb or your pinkie?

I start with my pinkie and my friends think it is weird.

    I touch my thumb to my pinky then touch each finger till i get to the thumb and then move it by itself. Thats weird. I never noticed how I count with my fingers. I guess I start with my pinky too.

    Pinkie

    With my thumb, of course. If I started with my pinky, I'd always be starting my counting with the number five, which is not only weird, but confusing!

    Thats a great question. I never really thought about it before. I just did it and I start on my pinky, on my right hand. Well, there are at least two weird ones. Interesting the stuff we take for granted and never even think about.

    I don't have to count with my fingers, I already now I have 6 on my right hand and 8 on the left.

    If I want to show "one" I tend to use the index finger.. Otherwise I start with my thumb.. But I usually open all fingers at once, I don't open them one after another!!
