When I was 7, I asked my mother what a bellybutton is, and she told me that the bellybutton was a little hole that would open if you weren't well mannered; and a little after she told me that, I freaked out, since my belly button sticks out, and then I asked my mother what happens when the hole opens all the way, and she told me that a little fairy would pop out from the hole, who was resting in the stomach, and the fairy would cast a spell that gave you freckles.
After she told me that, I was afraid of kids with feckles, but then I found how silly it was..
