belly buttons

I Used to believe that belly buttons fell off as you got older

I went to visit my best friend at her home a few years back. We were getting ready to go to dinner and I proclaimed that I wanted to change into a dress because my pants were making my belly button hurt. My friend asked me "What does it feel like?" I replied, "Like a pinch I guess." She then ran over to me looking at my belly button. Puzzled I asked her what she was doing- This is what she told me " Kevin (Her fiance) told me that when they cut your cord they put in one stitch, I already pulled mine out-Looked like on little thread. Somtime if its in there to long it starts to hurt, I bet yours needs to be pulled out." I nearly hit the floor laughing. I told her that I had already pulled mine out and that wasnt the cause of my pain. -I didnt have the heart to tell her. Sad thing is.... We are alot older than the age of a person you would expect to her this from lol

You know those giant Bullet Bills from old Super Mario games that would blow up and try to hit you in slow motion? They had angry eyes, etc?

Well, when I was a little girl, I used to imagine that those bullets would be moving around in my stomach, etc and when they would crash against a wall -- it would cause the hiccups.

When I was around 7 years old, I asked my mother what the Belly button is for. She told me "that's where the chord connects from a mother to her baby before it's born." I replied "But *I'm* never gonna have a baby? Why do I have one?" My mother didn't understand my question, and I started believing she didn't know what she was talking about.

Apparently, I believed that was the place the chord would eventually form, from the inside out.

My friend and I told her little sister that her belly button was where her parent blew her up and tied the knot. Her sister was mortified and ran and asked her mom....

When I was little, my sister told me that if I touched my belly button too much, it would unravel into my umbilical cord...i still dont touch it a lot. lol.

When I was little I thought belly buttons would close up when you got older, but then one day I saw a guy with a beer belly, and found out that you'll always have them.

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

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.

When I was little, I used to think that belly buttons were there because that's where the baby came out of.

Well, this isn't mine, but I had both of my daughters convinced that I could "take" their belly buttons and give them back. The older one was 4 or 5 when she finally figured out that I was fooling.

Sadly to this day I won't let anyone poke my belly button in fear of them poking into my stomache.

When I was little, my uncle warned me that my leg would fall off if I untwisted my belly button. I said, "It will not!" but then later, when I was alone, I carefully tried to untwist my belly button to see which leg would fall off.

I used to believe that the "outie" belly button shows that there is an egg inside you , and so when you had sex the belly button went in saying that you would have a baby-I was terrified when my cousin told my that! and when my belly button finally went in i was mortified!

up until recently i thought if you messed with your bellybutton it would get red and infected and you would die. i thought this beacuse when i was 3 i kept scratching the inside of my bellybutton and i t get red, my mom put hyrogen peroxide in it "so it would get infected"

I used to believe that if I could/would untie my belly knot, that there would be a hole there and I would be able to inside my body.
