Adapting to Water
Growing up, did your mom tell you it was time to get out of the bath because your fingers and toes were wrinkled? If that was the case, then you probably grew up with this underlying belief that your body shouldn’t be in the water for a prolonged period. They probably just thought we spent enough time there.

Rashad hit the nail on the head with the real reason why our fingers and toes wrinkle up in the water, and it isn’t because it’s time to get out. Our bodies can adapt to water habitats for survival, and the wrinkles help us maintain our grip on wet surfaces. Nobody is wrong here, though; it’s good information to know!
