My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
You can certainly tell how insanely busy it’s been in the retail business this month, because Wednesday afternoon I actually had time to walk around the whole department; asking everyone if they had an innie or an outie belly button.
Yeah…it’s been THAT busy.
I don’t know why I was even the slightest bit interested in finding this out, other than curious minds like my own want to know bazaar things.
I also did some research online, attempting to discover why some people develop an innie belly button verses an outie. Come to find out, they really can‘t be sure. Some medical people say it’s the way in which the umbilical cord is cut, while others swear it’s totally random or genetic.
After taking my belly button poll at work I was left completely shocked, because every single person I asked said they had an innie belly button.
NO ONE had an outie.
Um…that is, except for ME.
Yes, I have an outie belly button, can you believe it?
It’s kinda cute though because it actually resembles a small little button. And if I push on it, my tongue sticks out.
Here’s what it looks like….
Note: No, this is NOT an actual photo of my abs. Heavens no, my abs look MUCH better than this. Instead of six-pack, I have a EIGHT-pack.
One of the main advantages to having an outie belly button is that I don’t ever collect navel lint, like this….
I once had a partner who had an innie belly button, and I don’t know whether it was because it was as deep as a well, or the fact that he had such a hairy abdomen, but his belly button collected lint as fast and frequent as a seasoned prostitute turns tricks. I use to enjoy carefully picking it out of his button hole and storing it in an empty aspirin bottle (I kid you not). My goal was to one day collect enough so I could knit him a scarf. Unfortunately, we broke up before that ever happened, so one day I took all the lint and TORCHED IT.
Anyway, those of us who have outie belly buttons can sometimes feel like a freak of nature. However, if we can begin to look at ourselves as unique and rare, we can start to change our perspectives, and celebrate our outie bellybuttons as something perhaps……
a little HIGHER END?
Wishing you a lint-free weekend everyone!
