Ever since i was little my belly button has been inbetween an inie and an outie, and i showed my friend. Me and her were about 7 and she lied saying that her aunt's naval looked like mine but when she started getting older it kept growing and growing until it was a foot long (as she demonstrated with her arm.) After that I would cry at night thinking how gross my belly botton will be when I get older.
