I used to believe that if you put a crumb in my belly button, it would go right to my stomach, when I was 3, I put a crumb of food in my belly button and thought it would poison my because it was on the floor. To this day the only thing in belly button is lint.

I used to pick my belly button when I was small and one time my brother told me if I kept doing that, it would pop off and rice would spill out and they wouldn't be able to stop it. I stopped poking at my belly button for a while after that. I still get nervous sometimes when I do, and try my best not to poke too hard.

Because I could not understand how a baby could come out where it does, I reasoned to my self that when babies were born they came out of the belly button because (of corse) babies grew in the stomach -with all the food.

I remember in 4th grade i used to take a bath and i'd rinse my hair out with a bucket, so i'd dip the bucket in water and close my eyes and dump it on my head. Well one day i didn't close my eyes and i looked down (i was chubby btw) and i saw the water running out from my belly button. So during recess that day i told all the girls i was playing with that i knew what a belly button was for! The water runs out of there when you use too much during your bath or shower. When i got older i realized that the water was just running down my stomach.

My big sis told me that if I talked to my belly button, it might talk back. I was determined to see this. So on a frequent basis, I would lift up my shirt and start talking to my belly button. I tried drawing a face around it to see if it would come to life. I even tried feeding my belly button pop corn....never had any luck. But my belly button and I remain good friends. lol :)

When I was five to six years old, i used to believe that my belly button had a knot tied in it by the doctors when
I was born and that if I were to accidentally untie the knot, my internal organs would spill out.

As a kid I used to play with my belly-button (amongst other things!). My Mum told me that if I wasn't careful I would burst, fly around the room as the air escaped and end up flat as a pancake. I stopped playing with my belly buitton!

when I was 8-9 my big sister told me that babies come from boys and girls bellbuttons so I put tape around my bellybutton(and if a baby comes out of your bellybutton you will get a new one small but new) then if you don't clean your baby's bellybutton the baby gets a baby, so then I asked my sister again (when she was waring a mid-dritf) then she told me the truth,(I almost fanited).

I have been that if you don't clean your bellybutton it grows into a baby and you get a new one.

When I was little, I was always afraid to clean my belly button. I believed that if you stuck your finger in too far, you could get it stuck in your stomach, then all of your digestive juices would come out. Um yeah, I just stopped believing that last year... I had to try it out before I believed it.

When my sister was little, my step dad tried to convince her that his belly button was a special cave for fairies. When she didn't believe him, he pulled a bit of fluff out of his belly button and blew it into the air, saying 'look, there's a fairy'. After that I would often find her staring at her belly button, waiting for the fairy.

when i was little my nana told me my belly button was where the indian shot me, so growing up i just carried it with me and even told my kids. my nephew who was 3 came to spend a week with us in florida, when he went back home my sister called and told me he would not sleep and would not play with his cowboy and indian things because i told him that, he also is 4 now and would like to know if the doctor can close it up so the indian will not shoot him, now i cant convince him i was only playig

When i was little i used to be petrafied of my belly button. i used to think bugs would crawl out of. i also used to think it would turn inside out and all of my insides would poor out and i would become just a belly button.

I used to think that you could unscrew your belly button and then all the air would come whizzing out and you would fly around the room like a balloon.

I used to believe that my belly button was a door to another world, my dad told me that you could only get there if you had a big enough belly button. He told me if i ate all my food it would get bigger. Unfortunately my belly got bigger in the process, but my belly button got bigger too, so a 2p coin fitted in it, so it's been to another world.

When I was little and on through most of highschool I thought that your bellybutton went straight to your stomach and I was terrified to touch it because I thought I would poke into my insides. I would get sick to my stomach every time I thought about it.
