as a little girl, I believed my childhood best friend (alan) when he told me that my belly button could also write on the fence like his did - wink wink... i almost got a hernia trying to make my belly button poke out so i could spray/write my name on the fence. my mom asked me what i was doing and for some strange reason i wasn't allowed to play with alan anymore...
