I used to believe your belly button was where you were tied like a baloon and that people were full of helium, because my cousin Scotty always let me play with his belly button and I could feel how it was knotted at the bottom. Whenever I pushed it, he would pretend to deflate and I would scream for help because I thought I popped him.
