Additionally, though the number of fingers (I guess) are a phenotype, they are expressed from a genotype, which Lee would have to have as well. Although there are environmental influences on the phenotype, I am unsure what could have possibly happened in the womb for him to have an extra finger, seeing as how unlikely it is for him to have been injected with like, toxic waste or something.

Admittedly, this may be the point — Ford knows it's weird and that's why he's drawn to GF. Maybe all will be revealed later. I don't know, he might be an alien or whatever.

Frankly, that's the best explanation.

Also, there is no way Mabel and Dipper are identical (duh) Yeah I read that comment and was just like whaaaaaaa?
