when i was 6 i went with my little sister (5) and my uncle and aunt fishing. my aunt had a belly button ring (that she didnt wear around kids) and when we weren't looking, she put a fish ook into the hole and told us that our uncle wasn't good at fishing and that it accidentally got stuck their. my sister was terrified but i pulled up my shirt when he would cast off (i wanted a belly button ring) my sister still is afraid of fishing.
