I was told for the longest time that if i lied i would be grassed up by my belly button. Any time i was caught out lying but tried to continue the lie (like the time i wrote *my* name on the bedroom wall, with my crayons and tried to blame my 2 year old brother who couldnt write...) i would be asked to show my belly button at which point my parents would instantly know the truth, as most parents do anyway with small kids lying. I got my revenge on it later though, i got it pierced 4 times so the bloody thing cant grass me up now for fear of being muzzled.
