When I was about 7 I was lying on the couch, watching tv, and I guess my shirt was up enough so that my navel was visible. My Uncle came over to me and said "Aha! I can see your belly button!". Then he poked it and told me I was going to explode in 10 years. I freaked out, crying until he told me it was a joke.
