When I was little I knew a man who were very little. He was not like the rest of us. I belived that when he was born he came out of the bellybottom.

I thought liposuction was squeezing the fat out of your bellybutton. Too bad it's not that easy...

My brother used to tell me that you gave birth through your belly button. I could never work out how a baby could get through a hole so small...

I used to belive that if your belly button was unscrewed, your legs would fall off.
I used to believe that is you touched a picture in a book, it would come alive that night.

When I was little my father told me that if you undid the *knot* that the doctor's made which later became your belly button that you would deflate like a balloon. Flopping around the room included.

My father had my brother and me convinced that if we unbuttoned our bellybuttons, our legs would fall off...for years, whenever I washed my bellybutton, I was so afraid that I would accidentally release the mechanism that held my legs on. My brother spent hours actually TRYING to unbutton his bellybutton, and was very disappointed when it didn't work.

My Mom used to tell me that she could take a screwdriver and unscrew our belly buttons and our legs would fall off. But I always had a great sensitivity in my belly button and couldn't stand for it to be touched.

My grandma once told me never to touch my belly button, because if I did, my stomach would explode. It gave me a vision of my stomach ripping apart and gallons of blood gushing out. Of course, I didn't really even believe that what she said was true at the time (I had touched my belly button many times before) but it somehow scarred me, and to this day I can't stand to have anyone or anything touch my belly button.

I was told as a child that if I didn't clean out my bellybutton well enough, that potatoes would grow in it... It's a shame they never did, that could have made me a bit more pocket money...

My girlfreinds Mum told her that if she played with her belly button her insides would fall out.

She still won't let me near it...

I was led to believe by my hairy chinned granny, that if I picked the fluff out of my belly button my @rse would fall off!?!

I used to believe your belly button was a knot that held you together - my parents had wierd anatomical views
