I remember when I was little my daddy told me that if I didn't wash and clean my belly button that all of my arms and legs would fall off. He found me in the bathroom scrubbing my bellybutton and I had scrubbed it so much that the skin was raw and almost bleeding. Needless to say, he told me the truth after he stopped laughing.
