Belly Buttons

Last night, I was perusing through SnapChat and I'm watching the ones that came from my "sister in law" Rachael. They Streets are all in the mountains this weekend, so there were ones of my nieces with balloons in their stomachs pretending to be pregnant and they were dancing around. Pretty funny actually. As I'm watching, I hear my sister start to talk about me! WHAT! I hear her in the background talking about belly buttons during pregnancy and how her sister does not like them and didn't like her belly button when she was pregnant. I had to give her grief about talking about me on the SnapChat, however she is pretty accurate, belly buttons FREAK me out!

I'm not sure when I realized this may be a problem. I've always been some what weirded out by belly buttons, but it's recently dawned on me that I have a weird relationship with them.

When Shelby and I were younger the one thing that I absolutely could not stand was when she would "Pillsbury" me. Poke my stomach and say Pillsbury. Anyone else remember doing this as a child??? It would aggravate me to the point of tears and probably a melt down.

In college, Angie and Ben came to stay with me at my apartment in Chattanooga one Friday night and that Saturday we were getting ready so we could drive to Knoxville for the UT Game. In some freak accident, Angie and I both tried to walk through my bathroom door at the same time and somehow her belly button ring got caught on the door latch of my bathroom door and ripped her belly button ring out of her stomach. There was blood splattered everywhere. Me, the fainting goat, threw towels at her and then promptly went to lay on my couch to avoid passing out. Luckily, Ben was there to take care of her bloody belly button. She had a white shirt to wear to the game and there was blood where her belly button was! ARGH, still gives me the chills thinking about it.

And, with what I'm about to say, I hope I do not offend anyone. I cannot look at an outie belly button. My worst nightmare, if I'm blessed to be able to have babies one day, is that I will have an outie belly button. I'm gagging just thinking about it. Outies scare me!

So yes, please do not show me your belly button, keep it to yourself and we'll be just fine. And also, be careful when you SnapChat to make sure someone in the room isn't talking about someone who may potentially watch your Snap!! LOL!
