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

I used to believe if you played with your belly button your bum would fall off!

I was told when young that if i kept poking my bellybutton my bum would drop off.

My parernts told all us kids that the belly button was a keyhole and if we found the right key and turned it, our bums would drop off. For years we all tried every different key we came across with no success. Now my own children are searching for that elusive key!

My mother also told me that while you were waiting to find the right key, you could use your belly button to hold salt or tomato sauce to dip your fries into.

I always beleived that your tummybutton held your bum on. My dad told me if you undid the knot your bum would fall of. Sure stopped me from playing with my tummybutton but put me into a panic if I saw other kids playing with theirs.

My dad used to tell me that if I unscrewed my belly button that my butt would fall off (as I had an annoying little habit of sticking my finger in my belly button and twisting it around)

That if you fiddled with your bellybutton it would unscrew your bum and it would fall off

When i was younger i had this plastic electric drill, that for some odd reason i liked to stick it in my belly button. My mom told me that if i kept doing that i would unscrew my belly button and my tush would fall off.

i was told that if you fiddled with your belly-button too much, my bum would fall off.

I've been known to terrorize my nieces and nephews by telling me that if they ever unscrewed their belly buttons, their butts would fall off.

When I was 5 my cousin told me that if you unscrew your belly button your bum would fall off. For about 2 years I tried to unscrew the belly button until I learned in school about the umbilical cord.

when my generation of cousins, etc were small, a certain female relative had several of us convinced that if our belly-buttons were ever untied, our butt-cracks would fall out.
it was a cruel game. ;-D

My parents told me that if I put my finger in my belly button, my bum would drop off.
Years later they told me that they read a cartoon that showed a little boy doing just that, and thought it would be funny to tell me it was true.
I never believed them, though ;op

My dad told me if you played with your belly button, your bottom would fall off. I cannot believe how gullible I was.
