I went to visit my best friend at her home a few years back. We were getting ready to go to dinner and I proclaimed that I wanted to change into a dress because my pants were making my belly button hurt. My friend asked me "What does it feel like?" I replied, "Like a pinch I guess." She then ran over to me looking at my belly button. Puzzled I asked her what she was doing- This is what she told me " Kevin (Her fiance) told me that when they cut your cord they put in one stitch, I already pulled mine out-Looked like on little thread. Somtime if its in there to long it starts to hurt, I bet yours needs to be pulled out." I nearly hit the floor laughing. I told her that I had already pulled mine out and that wasnt the cause of my pain. -I didnt have the heart to tell her. Sad thing is.... We are alot older than the age of a person you would expect to her this from lol
