I used to believe that if your belly button got submerged in the bath, you'd drown. For many years, I was trying desperately to keep my belly button from becoming submerged and was quite upset with my mother for insisting I wash it.

I used to believe that if u unscrewed ur belly-button ur arms n legs would fall off so when my grandpa came over i would never let him touch my belly-button

When the troll dolls first came out, I thought I could put a jewl in my belly button and rub it and then my wish would come true. I was dissapointed when it didn't and stopped when one got stuck inside my belly button...

Also, my friend told me that if you got rabies you had to go to the doctor and they would strap you down to a table and give you 23 shots in your belly button!

I used to believe that if you got to much water in your bellybutton when you were taking a bath, it would shrivel up and fall off of your belly.

when i was little my sister had a habbit of sticking her finger in her belly button and twisting it around. so i told her that if you twisted it enough you would unscrew it and then your arms would fall of. she stopped right away. now she is 14 and still bleives it!!!

sorry i forgot!~

when i was younger i used to believe if i picked my bellybutton my penis would drop off

I used to think that the belly button was where babies came out of

Up until this year (im 17) i used to think that a baby was connected to the moms belly button, from the umbilical cord just to the belly button. I always wondered how they got food and oxygen. Thanks to medical school I know its not true!

my uncle told me that when my belly button was where an indian shot me when i was born. i believed that for a few years.

once my family was on a really long car trip. so my brother was bored and i guess he wanted to mess with my head. so he told me,
"Hey, did u kno that when i was in mommy's tummy, i crawled out thru her belly-button and-"

being the smart seven-year-old i was, i immeaditly said, "Babies cant crawl out thru their mommy's belly buttons. Itz not possible."

"Yes it is. I was a really small baby, member? and im really smart. Anyway,I crawled out thru her belly, and i snuck on a plane and went to Hawaii and had sooo much fun and then...uh...i went to a football game but-

"Wait, were you invisible?"

"Nooooooo. ur not listening! i was just really really small, see? and so i just went and did all these things and then i just went back in mommy's tummy in time to get borned."

"oooooooo. right."

Im sure my parents were cracking up in the front seat.



this may sound weird, but at the time it seemed rational.
so i totally believed him.
but what's really sad is that i am TWO YEARS OLDER THAN HIM!

i guess older doesnt always mean ur wiser.


god i was so gullible.

My Grandfather used to tell all of us that we had a chicken painted on our bellies and it all wore off but its bum, thus explaining the belly-button

When i was little i used to believe that my belly button was called a telly button, so i would talk to it and it would talk back to me.

When I was little,I used to believe that baby's came out of the mother's belly button. When I got to see how big they were once they were born,that belief went right out the window.

As a young child I always thought the umbilical cord of the baby was attached to the mother's belly button from the inside. and the mom's belly button doubled as a peek hole for the baby.. kids heh...

Chotee

I thought that people were filled with air and that if you "untied" your bellybutton you would deflate and fly around the room(like a ballon does) or pop.

silly girl

i used to belive that when women were pregnant the baby would stay in her tummy untill it was ready and then the mother would just press her belly buttun and out it would pop
