My little sister who is now in her mid-twenties is not the brightest star in the sky. When we were in our early twenties I saw that she had some dirtyness in her belly button and asked her what it was and why it was so dirty. She said, " Oh that's just my umbilical cord." Apparently, she never washed out her belly button thinking that the nastiness was her umbilical cord. How gross is that?!
