Visited my niece today, and played the wheres your nose/ears/eyes game.

When I said "where is your belly?" my sister snapped, don't say belly, say tummy.

Apparently it's common and said like "bell-leh"

Hmm

Maybe I am unreasonable to say belly, but my niece still pointed to her stomach when I asked where her belly was Grin

However did you find a 7 year old post at 20:30:33 ? Really? You got a degree from where?

We were never allowed to say belly when we were kids! Told off by our gran who said it was common. I think it must have stuck in my mind because I hate when people say belly now!
