Belly Buttons!


Belly buttons are like opinions- everyone has one. And like opinions, all belly buttons are different…Some are large, some are small. There are Innies, Outies, Hairies, Fuzzies, Smellies and Stinkies – heck it will soon be an accessory on the next round of Barbie dolls. But did you know the belly button (clinically known as the umbilicus) is actually a scar. Yep a scar.

In the image above, we have Ashley’s umbilicus. Once an innie, now an outie. Perhaps only a partial outie. Or perhaps the partial pop is a signal that the turkey isn’t fully done? Who would have thought the belly button was nature’s thermometer…the internal indicator that determines when it is time to take the bun out of the oven! More to come on this belly button- we are going to track this bad boy like Santa on Xmas.
