I remember being slightly confused and maybe a bit jealous that my 2 younger brothers had 2 belly buttons...while I only had one. I wish my parents had explained the difference between males and females a bit better... because then I would have known that the second belly button was a penis! I'm not sure why I thought it was a belly button...it was just the only logical explanation in my young mind!
