belly buttons

I used to beleive if your belly button came undone all the air would go out of your body and you would die.

I used to believe that potatoes grew inside my Belly Button - i can't remember why - but i believed it for a long time so kept on putting my finger inside my belly button making sure nothing was growing in there.

When I was little, my grandmother told me that my belly button is where all my skin was tied into a knot. I took her seriously and for almost a year I wouldn't touch my belly button, wash too close to my belly button in the bath, all in fear that if I touched it the "knot"/belly button would come undone, and all of my skin would fall off.

I used to believe that kids were born out of the bellybutton. I mean, that was the only logical explaination for why the bellybutton was on my stomach! Plus, my mom had a C-section n' told me how she had to get my brother taken out from there (and pointed to her stomach by her bellybutton) so what was I supposed to think!

When I was younger, I would always stick my finger in my belly button. But one day, my brother told me that ants would start crawling out of my belly button if I kept putting my finger in there! I never put my finger in my belly button again!

I used to think the scandalous part of wearing a bikini was that it showed your belly button, which I guess is actually true to an extent. But I thought the belly button was to a lesser extent, a "private part."

I used to think that if someone poked my belly button, it would open up. I would freak out when someone would poke my belly button. I have my mom to blame.

When I was young. I thought that if you touched your belly button, that yOu could transport anywhere in the world! So I kept prodding at my innie, hoping that I would be transported to Candy Land. I told all my friends and that poked at theirs and mine. Now, I have a little piercing in it of a candy to ring back the memories!!

My gran thought that if I got my bellybutton peirced I wouldn't be able to have children as they would need to feed off my umbillicle cord.

For ages after watching home alone, I believed that babys were born through the belly button & men only had belly buttons so they new where to pull there swimming trunks up to.

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.

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.

My friend used to believe that when a woman was pregnant, when it was time for the baby to come out, she just pressed her belly button and the baby just popped out!

What ever you want it to be baby!

I used to believe that my belly button was for putting salt in while in bed, eating fish and chips.

When i was younger, i used to pick my belly-button all the time, until my um caught me one day and said that if i picked it anymore my stomach would open up and id de-inflate like a balloon. I soon found this wasnt true.

I used to believe that if I stuck my finger or something into my belly button far enough it would reach all the way into my stomach.

I used to believe that your belly button held your skin together, and that if you "undid" your belly button, all your skin would fall off. Needless to say, I never let anyone go near my stomach. To this day I hate people touching my stomach, although I don't honestly believe my skin will fall off anymore.
