Being the curious sort I used to ask my dad what belly buttons were for. He told me that it was where he was shot by an arrow when he was little while playng cowboys and indians. Naturally, I refused to play cowboys and indians with friends and insisted on cops and robbers instead. I do remember thinking I was getting a raw deal as I did not get to play with a bow and arrow.
