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.
