Hold both of your hands straight out in front of you with your palms facing away.
Since we only have 1 thumb, we shall name it Number 1. The finger beside each thumb is Number 2. The next finger, your middle finger, is Number 3. The next finger is Number 4. Your last finger, the pinkie, is Number 5.
