    Were you ever told that you were born out of your mother's belly button? When you asked how you were born you were told that you were pushed out of the belly button and then the hole healed up.

    This year I'm going to stop picking my BellyButton for lint.

    I remember being told that as well when i was very young. It would open up a can of worms if you told a child they came out the vagina as there would probably be some awkward follow up questions.

    How in the hell would that work?

    we were never told because we never cared, by the time we were old enough to know the facts we'd learned it from watching medical dramas and such

    Poo, fluff, hair - anything.

    It's a great hiding place for anything really.

    I have a very sensitive belly button eversince I was a kid.

    Don't know why but it's tortue to touch it. I feel like a knitting needle is slowly being pushed up my a*se.

    Don't ask me how I know what that would be like ;)

    Same as the real way really. Makes sense to a toddler though.

    Why did you think it was there then? Were you not curious?

    Must be. I mean back in the old days they used to tell them it in the country to keep them away from girls underwear. The country people were very innocent altogether...probably not so much today.

    Don't ask me why, but when I was younger I assumed babies came out of the mouth.

    I don't think I was ever really curious about what my bellybutton was. Like my birthmark, I knew it was there but didn't really care why.

    I currently in litigation with my parents as, based on their advice, we had my wife's belly button safely covered in sticking plaster but still ended up with a child.

    We just do it standing up now, to be safe.

    Not as bad as the man who wasn't told the truth. Went to put his penis into her belly button. She dumped him.

    I'm the same. Whenever mean people go near my bellybutton it feels like a hook ripping me body in half.
    Damn mean people!! Mean bellybutton attacking people *shakes fist*

    Also, no, I've never heard of babies coming out of them... That's a terribly new one to me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Black Magic


    We've had the mouth and arse.

    Anyone hear of the baby coming out of the nostril by any chance?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    I was told that the doctor has a special magic key that opens up the belly button like a door and the baby crawls out:rolleyes:

    The lies they told............sigh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 592 ✭✭✭Black Magic


    Is it possible to untie the belly button. If so how?

    Is it possible to push it out if its in.

    I was once told that you could vomit out of your belly button.

    I have heard its very very dangerous to get an infection in your belly button I have had it pierced twice and on the second piercing was hospitalized with an infection now im left with a scar where they had to cut it out :(

    Can you vomit through the button? Anyone else ever hear that. I heard it when I was young and could always get a smell of vomit when I pokedmy finger into it.
