A childhood belief about belly buttons

once my family was on a really long car trip. so my brother was bored and i guess he wanted to mess with my head. so he told me,
"Hey, did u kno that when i was in mommy's tummy, i crawled out thru her belly-button and-"

being the smart seven-year-old i was, i immeaditly said, "Babies cant crawl out thru their mommy's belly buttons. Itz not possible."

"Yes it is. I was a really small baby, member? and im really smart. Anyway,I crawled out thru her belly, and i snuck on a plane and went to Hawaii and had sooo much fun and then...uh...i went to a football game but-

"Wait, were you invisible?"

"Nooooooo. ur not listening! i was just really really small, see? and so i just went and did all these things and then i just went back in mommy's tummy in time to get borned."

"oooooooo. right."

Im sure my parents were cracking up in the front seat.



this may sound weird, but at the time it seemed rational.
so i totally believed him.
but what's really sad is that i am TWO YEARS OLDER THAN HIM!

i guess older doesnt always mean ur wiser.


god i was so gullible.
