When I was growing up, my Dad used to say that if you pushed your belly button, your legs would fall off. He would chase me and my sister, trying to push the belly button and we would go shriking through the house. I know that it is silly, but still to this day I don't let anyone touch my belly button. Unfortunately, my kids don't buy into that story so it is another memory that won't coninue.
