A childhood belief about belly buttons

When I was little, I asked my dad why I had a belly button. He said that it was how mommy fed me when I was really little. Not realizing that this was before I was born (and that it was from my umbilical cord), I was confused. Then I noticed that my mom had one too, and so I thought that before I learned to eat real food, my mom lied on her back, and put me on her tummy, being sure to line up our belly buttons, and put the food from her tummy straight into mine!
