My mom always used to say,"Don't scratch your belly button or it will bleed." So I when we were at church, and everyone was singing, I started screaming and balling so loud everyone stopped singing. It was because my brother had poked my belly button (which at the time seemed close enough to scratch) and I though blood was going to start pouring out of my belly! I was terrified!!!! I never lived it down.
