Innies and outies

Just spent the day in Philadelphia. I had a good time with D's cousin's daughter, Dalia. She came in, looking shy around all the big scary people (I felt the same) so I whisked her to the hall, where we played with her Little Mermaid doll and talked. In case you're wondering, the doll has detachable red hair, a small purple bra and a turquoise-green sea tail. I wondered if Little Mermaid can switch hair colors...why make it detachable, after all? Dalia explained, "Belle has brown hair, Cinderella has blonde hair and Snow White has black hair."

I now consider myself an expert.

At any rate, I tickled her at dinner and felt a small protuberance on her belly. She has an outie! D asked me if I knew any adults with outies, and I could remember a childhood friend who had one. I don't know if she still does. And so, I ask...do you have an innie or an outie, and has it always been that way?

Hee...thanks for answering.

we thought about getting in touch with you guys, but we were locked into family stuff...d's father's family lives there, and we went to their house and then straight to dinner, then took the train home from there. maybe next time...we're going again in march, i think.

Innie- always been that way. I didn't realize they could change.
Bearette said…
Zen - i didn't think they changed either, but d seemed to think that outies might change.

I Said to Poetry

I said to Poetry:"I'm finished
with you."
Having to almost die
before some wierd light
comes creeping through
is no fun.
"No thank you, Creation,
no muse need apply.
Im out for good times--
at the very least,
some painless convention."

Poetry laid back
and played dead
until this morning.
I wasn't sad or anything,
only restless.

Poetry said: "You remember
the desert, and how glad you were
that you have an eye
to see it with? You remember
that, if ever so slightly?"
I said: "I didn't hear that.
Besides, it's five o'clock in the a.m.
I'm not getting up
in the dark
to talk to you."

Poetry said: "But think about the time
you saw the moon
over that small canyon
that you liked so much better
than the grand one--and how suprised you were
that the moonlight was green
and you still had
one good eye
to see it with

Think of that!"

"I'll join the church!" I said,
huffily, turning my face to the wall.
"I'll learn how to pray again!"

"Let me ask you," said Poetry.
"When you pray, what do you think
you'll see?"

Poetry had me.

"There's no paper
in this room," I said.
"And that new pen I bought
makes a funny noise."

"Bullshit," said Poetry.
"Bullshit," said I.

Innie always. ;)

My belly button is pierced and has been for about 10 years. A little girl I used to work with told me, "You know, you'll have to take that out when you have a baby because your belly button will pop out."

"Thanks for the heads up," I said.

Liz, I wouldn't have picked you as someone to have a belly button ring! Ah, the things we learn about each other. lol

I have an innie. I know I've seen outies before, but I can't think of anyone I know specifically.
Bearette said…
So far, no outies...Liz, i considered getting my belly button pierced when i was 20, but my mom was scandalized. my brother's wife said, "don't worry, she'll get over it..."

was it painful?
Roxanne said…
I've always been an innie, too.

Didn't think Liz was that risque. Guess you never know. :)

I'm guessing that you "got over" getting yours pierced...or are you still considering?
Bearette said…
I read in some story about a woman getting hers pierced, and it sounded super-painful. so, no...

When you say she had "detachable red hair", does that mean that Ariel is bald underneath?! That sounds pretty cool! Did Ariel have an innie or an outie?!

I'm an innie...but I remember some kids in primary school were outies.
Bearette said…
Hee...the top of her bare head was actually painted red, so it was like she had a skullcap on, even after you removed the plastic red hair. And she had an innie ;)
Caro said…
I'm an innie too.

But Liz is right about the pregnancy thing.

About the eighth month it pops out like the timer on a turkey.
Bearette said…
Yet another thing to look forward to ;)
