Ouch!
So. I burned my belly button. Ok, actually, I burned the skin around my belly button. No, I’m not going to talk about how I did it. It’s rather embarrassing, really–and I’m in no mood to be mocked by the internet. Let’s just say it was an act of stupidity and be done with it. No, really–I’m not saying. Uh-uh, my lips are sealed. And NO, I’m not posting pictures, you perv. Seriously, you people need to get a life.
You, however dear reader, are free to make wild guesses in the comment box. Best guess wins.
Now, I must be going–I have Aloe Vera to apply. Ouch!

Did you burn yourself with your iron when you were attempting to steam out a wrinkle you spotted after you were all dressed?
No, don’t ask how I came up with this suggestion.

based on my own experience, i’d guess you took your fave levi’s (or mudd’s, or lei’s, or whatever your jeans preference is) out of the dryer, where they’d been tumbling for a while, then put them on while the metal buttons were still hot. ow.

Heh… I’ve done both those things…
But not this time.
And welcome, pril.

You were blow-drying out your bellybutton after your shower and the dryer got too close…

yeah, i was going to say steam-ironing like a girl at the costume shop in college. my official guess will be: reaching for somehting way over the stove while cooking?

You were cleaning out your belly button lint with really hot water?

You bumped into a hot skillet. ??
You dropped a curling iron on yourself somehow.

I managed to burn my (pregnant) belly with the newly-boiled kettle while attempting to make Jell-O. If this is how you managed it, too, I will be shocked, awed, and feel much better.

Like Tom, you could have been polishing brass doorknobs with a Dremel tool, the rapidly spinning brush flew off the knob and hit you in the belly button (umbilicus).

You dutifully applied your sunscreen, but while nude sunbathing, your belly button ring got scalding hot.
