When I was little I use to believe that my navel.... or anyone else's for that matter would break open. I use to be scared to touch my navel a lot, because I seriously thought that it would open up causing pain, blood, and my insides would pour out. I know that is not true, but to this day I hate it when my boyfriend tries to poke my stomach near my navel.
