I experienced my first belly touching this weekend. I really did not think this was going to bother me but I very quickly found out the opposite. I was discussing this with my husband and she suggested doing it back to people (rub their stomach). I thought this was hilarious and I think I really might try it. We have a pretty good sense of humor and people that know us are aware of it so I'm thinking it may make them laugh. If it makes them uncomfortable I'm thinking it may prevent them from doing it to me in the future.

As for me, close friends and family get a pass. I'm ok w
