My big sis told me that if I talked to my belly button, it might talk back. I was determined to see this. So on a frequent basis, I would lift up my shirt and start talking to my belly button. I tried drawing a face around it to see if it would come to life. I even tried feeding my belly button pop corn....never had any luck. But my belly button and I remain good friends. lol :)
