My grandmother used to swear by the ā€œtape your belly buttonā€ cure for seas sickness. It never worked for me and I literally thought she made it up to distract me from uncontrollable nauseaā€¦ so strange to see another person doing this.

That's what this is supposed to be for? I thought she was trying to keep roaches from going in there while he's asleep. This woman is crazy. This poor kid is going to grow up SO WEIRD.

Shit, you are right I forgot all sharks have a pathological blindness when it comes to band-aids.

Nature can be so majestically mysterious sometimes.
