when i was a little girl i had a really bad habit. i would take the eraser side of a pencil and stick it deep into my belly button and twirl it around. one day my dad caught me and told me that if i kept doing that my bellybutton would unravel and my innards would fall out. i didn't believe him though, and until this day i still have a major fetish for bellybuttons. i even try popping my innie into an outie!
when I was little my sister told me that if I played with my belly button, and put thing's in it I would die. Boy was I a dope head!!!!

Up until I was six or seven, I had the most protruding "outie" that my family had even seen. My aunt constantly teased me about it, swearing that she was going to cut it off and make an "innie." I was so scared that she was telling the truth, that I never went in the kitchen when she was cooking with knives.
My mother told me that my skin would unravel if I stuck my finger in my bellybutton. Even though I know now that it isn't true, I won't put my finger in my bellybutton. Strange how those childhood things stick in your subconscious fears...
When I was a small, unscrubbed child I thought the black dirt in my belly button was left over umbilical cord from my birth.

When i was about 3 or 4 i thought if you pushed your belly button,you exploded.For years i was scared when i was washing that if i accidently pushed it i'd explode and mum would go mad with me
When I was little I loved to poke in my belly button until oneday my granny told me that if I keep playing around with it, it would come undone and I would fly around the room like a balloon that wasnt tied right. I still have a thing about people touching my button and when I think about someone touching it I get all squirmy.Thanks granny love you !
I used to think that women had babies through their belly buttons.
I figured that when the baby was big enough to be born, the belly button would open up and the baby lifted out, and then the belly button would just close right up again.
I'm guessing a lot of people wish it could be that simple...
When my niece was little, about 8 years old, I had her convinced that twins (I have an identical twin sister) did not have belly buttons. It took her about 5 years to learn the difference. I am a little bit over weight, and I had pulled the front of my pants down just far enough to where you would think a belly button should be.
I used to believe that if you had an operation, it had to start at the belly button. So if you had to have brain surgery...boy howdy!
I used to belief that women had babies by pressing their belly buttons!
I used to believe you could breathe through your belly button. I think this belief came from swimming lessons, where when I was doing the back float the teacher would say "Keep your belly out of the water" which I guess made me think my navel was like a whale's blowhole.
Me and my sisters all have sticky-innie belly-buttons and when we were all little our mum used to tell us not to pick and poke at our belly-buttons or they would come unravelled!
My sister still believed this until the age of 28 - when me and my other sister explained it was just one of those things mums say!
For years I believed that babies came out of an oven in a factory and that God pressed their tummies, like you would a cake, and pronounced "you're done" - and I had proof of this because my navel was obviously where God had prodded me! I also believed that dark skinned ladies used cocoa powder as face powder and that hill sheep were a special breed with two legs shorter than the others so that they could stand upright. Thanks, Dad!!!

I used to believe that you had an Inee belly button when you were hungry and an outy when you were full. I was such a little dope.

When I was little I used to think you breathed out of your belly button. I wouldn't let the bath water touch it because I thought I'd stop breathing!
I was told that by one of my big sisters friends that if I played with my belly button my skin would roll off. I think perhaps she had a problem with hers in retrospect
Mummy told me that my belly button had an unlimmited amount of wool in it. When I was in the bath, why didn't I shrink?
When I was little my Mother told me that if I 'played' with my belly button my arms and legs would fall off. I believed this for years!!
I used to beleive that if I soaked in a bath for too long, my belly buttob 'knot' would come undone and all my insides would fall out....I still can't touch mine (or anyone elses!!!) Tho am very relieved other people have these beliefs too....!
