belly buttons

i always thought that if you ate belly butten fluff you would die, (i also thought it smelt like smokey bacon crisps)

my uncle told me that when my belly button was where an indian shot me when i was born. i believed that for a few years.

once my family was on a really long car trip. so my brother was bored and i guess he wanted to mess with my head. so he told me,
"Hey, did u kno that when i was in mommy's tummy, i crawled out thru her belly-button and-"

being the smart seven-year-old i was, i immeaditly said, "Babies cant crawl out thru their mommy's belly buttons. Itz not possible."

"Yes it is. I was a really small baby, member? and im really smart. Anyway,I crawled out thru her belly, and i snuck on a plane and went to Hawaii and had sooo much fun and then...uh...i went to a football game but-

"Wait, were you invisible?"

"Nooooooo. ur not listening! i was just really really small, see? and so i just went and did all these things and then i just went back in mommy's tummy in time to get borned."

"oooooooo. right."

Im sure my parents were cracking up in the front seat.



this may sound weird, but at the time it seemed rational.
so i totally believed him.
but what's really sad is that i am TWO YEARS OLDER THAN HIM!

i guess older doesnt always mean ur wiser.


god i was so gullible.

My Grandfather used to tell all of us that we had a chicken painted on our bellies and it all wore off but its bum, thus explaining the belly-button

When i was little i used to believe that my belly button was called a telly button, so i would talk to it and it would talk back to me.

When I was little,I used to believe that baby's came out of the mother's belly button. When I got to see how big they were once they were born,that belief went right out the window.

As a young child I always thought the umbilical cord of the baby was attached to the mother's belly button from the inside. and the mom's belly button doubled as a peek hole for the baby.. kids heh...

I thought that people were filled with air and that if you "untied" your bellybutton you would deflate and fly around the room(like a ballon does) or pop.

i used to belive that when women were pregnant the baby would stay in her tummy untill it was ready and then the mother would just press her belly buttun and out it would pop

Used to think you had babies out of your belly button...oh well.

When I was little, I noticed the little black spots inside your bellybutton. I thought these were flies so everytime I visited my grandmas house I would go into the pantry and grab the fly swater and then start swatting my belly button!!

When I was little my dad told me if I played with my belly button too much it would come undone and all the food would fall out of my stomach. My brother was convinced he had a seed in his belly button and he picked it until it bled.

when i was little i coloured my bellybutton orange and my olders brothers and sister (i was the youngest of 5) convinced me that now my poop was gonna be orange and i didnt go poop for 3 day becuase i was afaraid that my poop would be orange....why? i dont know?!?!

DiLLY!

Until i was about 4, I used to beleive that everything i ate in my entire life was still in my stomach, whole, and if i ate too much my belly button would pop off like a cork and all the food would come pouring out!

I remember being told that if I dug deep enough into my belly-button I would find loads of great toys to play with. I fully believed this and remember having a good digging session in my belly-button.

I never did find anything :(
I guess they were lying.

Two stories. When I was young I and my cousin tricked his brother into thinking his outie belly button had one of those Aliens inside it and that if he let anything touch it, it would begin to grow until it bursted out of his tummy. He was so scared he always wore his shirt above his belly button, and cried when his mom/my aunt made him put it down.

Also my Grandfather who is fat had to have his belly button repaired because of a hernia so it was big and deep after it healed, much bigger than a normal belly button and he told me that he had an accident while playing baseball, and that the pitcher hit him in the belly button with the ball so hard it got stuck inside and that the doctors had to come take it out, and it just stayed that way. Cool thing is it was deep and big enough he could stretch it to fit a baseball inside, my Grandmother however hated when he did this, she embarrassed easily.

when i was 2, i beleived that my belly button was a kind of organic fax machine for turning my inner-guts into cotton fluff which fed small animals that lived inside my anus. it was only when i got a girlfriend at 26 that i found this to be slightly inaccurate.

I used to believe your belly button was where you were tied like a baloon and that people were full of helium, because my cousin Scotty always let me play with his belly button and I could feel how it was knotted at the bottom. Whenever I pushed it, he would pretend to deflate and I would scream for help because I thought I popped him.
