I used to believe that my bellybutton was like a little seal and if I prodded it too much, I would break through to my stomach. Even now, I'm still really nervous about touching my bellybutton even though I'm an adult!

When I was 7 I believed my mother was capable of unscrewing my bellybutton and removing my legs.
She told this to me and a friend once because we kept getting of the couch when she was trying to vacuum.

I used to believe when I was younger that there was a seed in ppl's belly buttons, and when they died the person would push it and a tree would come out of their belly button and their body would go in the ground so every time I looked like a tree I always thought of my dead relatives or something. I always cried when I saw that baby tree because I thought a baby died.

When I was a little girl, I thought boys peed out of their belly buttons.

My mother told me "that's where the indian shot you". This must be a saying of sorts possibly from an old western.

When I was young my dad was a P.E. teacher and the football coach at a local high school. He told us how important it was to exercise every day. I was about 4 or 5 and he told us a story about a boy in his class who never exercised. My dad said he tried to teach the boy to do sit-ups, but his bellybutton unraveled and the poor kid flew around the gym really fast like a deflating balloon. He was so serious and sad when he told us, and I thought it was true. I would even get out of bed at night time to do my sit-ups so I would stay in shape. I was so afraid of deflating and flying around the room uncontrollably.

When I was little my grandfather told us your legs would fall off if you put your finger in your belly button and pressed firmly. My older brother terrorized us for a few years by chasing us around with his pointer finger ready to go when we were in our bathing suits. I always wanted a one-piece bathing suit.

When I was six I walked in on my stepsister trying to pierce her bellybutton in the bathroom. I think she was twelve. She told me that if I told my stepmother what she had tried to do that Bellybutton Bob would come out of the toilet and steal my bellybutton when I flushed. Well, I told. I was so scared. My stepmother told me not to worry, but for a few years I would go to the bathroom and run. I was too afraid to flush. My stepmother did not appreciate it. Even after that I would check the shower first.

My parents would say eat your vegetables, they're good for your motor. So...of course I believed I had a motor, so I'd take my Dad's keys and stick them in my bellybutton to start my motor instead of eating vegetables. I did this until one day my Dad said, if you stick keys in your bellybutton your rearend will fall off. That's when I started to eat my vegetables.

i thought that we were all born with outtie belly buttons, and by growing or getting fat, it would become an inner one, and somehow i remember that happened to someone.

Once as a child, I asked my mother, "How does a baby in a mom's belly get food?" All my mother said was "Through the bellybutton." From then on I believed that a pregnant woman fed her unborn baby by spooning applesauce through her own bellybutton.
I used to believe that if you covered up your belly button you would suffocate. When I tried proving this to my sister I found out that I was incorrect, so I pretended to suffocate.

I used to believe that if you play with your belly button when you have a stomachache, your diarrhea would start coming out of your belly button. I'm 16 now and I try not to touch it - especially when my stomach hurts.
