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.

I used to believe that babies were born by the belly button stretching and then everting to deliver the baby.

i used to believe that my belly button could dissapear and i was terrified it would to i used to check if it was still there, and i used to count all my toes and fingers to make sure they hadn't fallen off. i did all this right before i went to bed, and i still can't let anybody touch my belly button, it gives me the creeps

I used to believe women stuck tampons in their belly buttons when they got pregnant so the baby wouldn't bleed or come out of it.

When I was little, I believed that the belly button was simply a second mouth that you used to eat foods you didn't like the taste of. I could never get mine to work, for some reason...

When I was a kid, I thought that belly-buttons on girls were really their future babies, and they grew out of their stomach when the girl was old enough to have children.

when i was little i used to belive that the belly button was a whole in your body and so i was terrified of having baths because thought water would get inside me through my belly button

When i was 2 or 3 i used to think that babies came out of your bellybutton so i would put tape of my bellybutton so i wouldn't have a baby.

when i was a kid my mom used to tell me that if we untied my belly button i would deflate like a balloon.

I am 30 years old and STILL KNOW that if anyone else touches my belly button, it WILL come unraveled! It won't kill me, but boy will it be uncomfortable! Unfortunately, my wife finds this hilarious and always tries to untie my belly button for me. Luckily, I'm able to make her stop by touching her throat right between her collar bones, which she thinks will make her throat collapse!

For many many years when I was younger I used to be so affraid that one day my bellybutton was going to just come undone and that I would be left with a huge gapeing hole there and that you'd be able to see all my blood and guts, and my stomach, I was so terrified that "the knot" would come undone cos the doctor hadnt done it tight enough, and I'd bleed to death, until one day I said something to my dad, and he told me it was impossinble, but is it?! (JK)...
