I guess it makes sense, but I’ve never thought of it like that before.

    For a long time I believed that my belly button grew hair. As my belly button had a little tuft since puberty. I mean there were new hairs then, so I just didn’t consider it.

    One day the conversation (exposed navels were in vogue at the time) turns to this little tidbit.

    Well, you can imagine me putting two and two together and eventually tugging a little plug of dead skin and belly button lint wrapped around a few dozen hairs.

    I wish it hadn’t been before smart phones. It was one of those things that’s so gross you hang onto it for a day or two out of some primordial reverence.

    Also, does anyone else’s navel serve as a nausea button? I’ve had several partners try to play with it and it’s not enjoyable at all.
