Silly Belly Button Language

RRIIINNGG!!! The recess bell has rung and all of the kids ran (screaming, sometimes) to the line-up area and waited for their teacher to take them back to class. One day, I stood in line waiting. A boy named Luke stood right in front of me. He turned around suddenly, lifted up his shirt, and showed me his belly button. It was colored in red like a pair of lips! "Once, in First Grade, I colored my belly button the same color," he explained, while I stood there staring at it. "Just before I left Mrs.Smith, I showed her my belly button and squeezed it like this." Luke squeezed, then loosend, then squeezed his belly button. As he did this, he said in a low voice, "Bye-bye, Mrs.Smith." I laughed. When I finished laughing, Luke said that Mrs.Smith laughed until she fell. When I got home, I tried it myself and was the first person to laugh at it. Nice trick.
