When I was six I walked in on my stepsister trying to pierce her bellybutton in the bathroom. I think she was twelve. She told me that if I told my stepmother what she had tried to do that Bellybutton Bob would come out of the toilet and steal my bellybutton when I flushed. Well, I told. I was so scared. My stepmother told me not to worry, but for a few years I would go to the bathroom and run. I was too afraid to flush. My stepmother did not appreciate it. Even after that I would check the shower first.
