If you played with your belly button the knot that the midwife tied would come undone and all your insides would fall out. Even know I don't like my belly button being touched!!!

I used to believe that if I stuck my finger in my belly button - I wouldn't be able to taste my food. So everytime I was forced to eat gross food my finger would end up in my belly button. Sometimes I still do it without thinking.

Well, this isn't mine, but I had both of my daughters convinced that I could "take" their belly buttons and give them back. The older one was 4 or 5 when she finally figured out that I was fooling.

To add to the belly button thing. I was also told by my mom that if you messed with your belly button it would come undone and that my guts would come out. I honestly believed this until I had my first child at 18. I was observing my belly button and it was quite dirty. I called my grandma to see how I should clean it and she told me with a q tip and some rubbing alcohol. I then told her I was scared that I was going to untie my belly button. After she gathered herself from laughter, I told her it was her daughter that told me this would happen. That made it that much funnier to her. Don't worry, I clean my belly button all the time now, but this is still a family joke and usually gets brought up around the holidays. Good to know I can be the one for laughter.

I have always had an "outie" rather than an "innie" belly button and this used to upset me when I was young as I wanted to be like all of my friends who had innies. My mother told me that mine was magic and all I had to do was push the button and make a wish. So when people thought I was weird for having a sticky out belly button I used to tell them this story. (they probably thought I was even weirder then). I believed my mother though and waited patiently for all my wishes to come true.

My dad LIVED in white tee shirts around the house and was always picking lint out of his navel. He told my sisters and I that he grew cotton in his belly button. We could never figure out why WE couldn't grow it too.

my friend was told by her mum that if she played with her belly button it would come undone and she'd have a hole for the rest of her life. She's turning 20 now and she will not, and i mean WILL NOT touch her belly button..

Until I was 5 or 6 I believed that babies came out of the belly button. I was convinced it had to take quite a lot of time, and showed all my friends the little baby that already was growing in my belly button. Wehen they said it didn't look like a baby, I rolled my eyes and made them understand that it wasn't finished until I was adult.

I used to (ok, the habit stuck, I still do) stick my finger in my belly button. My parents told me that if I took my finger out, all the air would come out. I was terrified that I would die if "all the air came out."

I believed that if you touch your belly button, you would fall apart. To this day it makes me sick to have it touched.
