Some time ago, on Facebook, I started wishing people a "Happy Belly Button Day!" instead of a Happy Birthday. Why? It seems everyone says Happy Birthday, and it gets a little boring!
So today's blog is in honor of belly buttons.
You see, it seems that really it is one of those "life" questions. Perhaps I'm slightly inaccurate in wishing everyone a happy belly button day? After all, little Mark's belly button was only "visible" (i.e., the umbilical cord fell off) only after about 2 weeks (almost to the hour). Was the cord falling off the belly button day? Or the day the cord was cut? My mom calls the cord a "Belly Ribbon" - which I like as well. Although the word umbilical should have been in my post a ways back on cool words. I digress.
The issue reminds me of which came first, the chicken or the egg? Or when does life begin - at conception, or at birth? Not necessarily important questions, but things to ponder all the same.
In the meantime, I'll continue wishing friends a happy Belly Button Day. It's fun and different. Perhaps it will stand out against all the other Happy Birthday wishes!
Today is a big birthday - - 1 cousin (CSS), 3 Austin friends (JD, AH, EC), and 1 local coworker (RB) are all among my facebook friends celebrating their birthday today, the last day of the month of October! So Happy Halloween to all - - and Happy Belly Button Day to the 5 friends celebrating a birthday today!
