I used to believe that belly buttons were the knots left after the umbilical cord was removed. I thought that the sticky-out kind was a different sort of knot.

When I was little I thought everybody had a innie belly button because I did. But the forst time I saw a outie belly button I asked, "whats that?"

I thought that when I was born my Mum had selected the style of my belly button out of a catalogue that nurses could do. I was a bit cross coz with her because it was a sticky outy one.

I used to believe that everyone had a baby and it was stored in their Belly Button. Because once I looked in there adn saw a line and thought it was my babys butt Crack. So sometimes I would Randomly whip my baby by sticking my finger in my belly button

I used to believe that all boys had outie belly-buttons. I also believed that when they needed to pee, they would go to the urinals, lift up their shirts, and peed through their belly buttons.

I used to think that your belly button was a hole into your body and when it gets fiddled with your finger would touch your stomach and poison it.

My aunt told me if I swallowed my tooth, then it will go all the way down and the tooth will stick out of my belly button.

When I was a child, I was told by my mother that I shouldn't pick at my belly button because behind it was all of my "guts" and it would all come out one day if I didn't leave my navel alone.

When I was younger I was fasincated with my dads belly button because it always had fuzz in it. He always told me that he had a fuzz factory in his belly button and had to empty it every day or else it would over flow. I always wanted my own fuzz factory until I realized that it was really from his shirt:s

My grandpa always used to tell me that his friend Georgie lived inside of his belly button. I tried to find George in my belly button, but gave up. I figured only grandpas has Georges in their belly buttons.

when I was little I thought I was watching a movie about my life through my mother's belly button. I thought that I was learning all sorts of things about life and when I was REALLY born I would grow up to be an incredible genius!

My grandfather always told my sister and I that our bellybuttons were made by arrows when the Indians shot us. From then on I couldn't watch Pocahontas again until I was nine...

I used to think ur belly button was attached to your (mens)... tools because whenever i pressed it my tool would hurt a bit.

My Pop-pop has always been a troublemaker and a comedian in the family. I still remember he told me that if I unbuttoned my belly button, all of my guts would spill out. I was so scared to ever touch my belly button for a long time.

Yes, I was under the impression that it would be possible to undo your belly button and see your insides. After much experimentation with trying to look inside my own belly button, I gave up.

I used to think belly buttons were a form of communication. When I met someone I liked, I would politely insert my finger into their navel and said hello.
