If you play with your belly button your bottom will fall off

When I was small and I went to the Pediatrician, HE told me that if I unscrewed my belly button that my butt would fall off. We now have my daughter convienced it's true and we have to tighten up her belly button every once in a while.

My dad told me that if i put a key in my belly button, my bottom would fall off! God knows how he came up with that one but i am still terrified if a key strays too close to my navel

I used to believe that if I played with my belly button my bottom would fall off...it gave me a phobia of belly buttons and I can't bear to see sticky-out's or people poking them!

When I was little, my mother used to tell me if I played with, or put a finger in my belly button, my bum would fall off. My mother loathes belly buttons. I also now cringe when I see them, or people touching them, funny that.

When i was little my Uncle told me that you should never stick your finger in your belly button because there is a know in there that holds your butt on. And if you messed around in there your butt might fall off.
