I was convinced as a child that the Navel station was where you got your belly button checked. (not sure what for). When my parents said that was not what happened there; my sister and I assumed it then must have something to do with oranges.
A childhood belief about general
others believed things like this
- I used to think that my belly button was where I was once shot and that the navel was a healed up bullet hole— Tony
- When I was little I thought the navel was a button to turn people off and on.
— James - when i was a child i used to think that my belly button was for storing smarties— GemSue
- My younger sister used to believe that in everybody's belly button there lived a family of squirrels.— Sophie
- I used to believe your belly button was a knot that held you together - my parents had wierd anatomical views— anne
- I used to think that if i touched my belly button it would unfold and my belly would be inside out forever. Anon
