Outie/Innie Conversion. And they said it couldn't be done...

From the wisdom of Appalachia comes this handy item. A must-have for every new mom's post partum toolkit. Say little Suzy comes out all rosy cheeks and giggles, but that belly button just will not shrink up into a proper body cavity. Little Suzy is looking more like a high-mount little Johnny. Can't have that.

What's a mom to do? Cosmetic surgery at such a young age? Can't have her going around ..... protruding! Relax; the old women say to place a silver half-dollar over the bellybutton and it will rapidly shrink and tuck. Folks even go so far as to sew (for the "modern girls" out there - that's the process whereby pieces of cloth are joined together to form garments) a band with a pouch in the front for the half dollar for occasions when a long term remedy is indicated.

Folks claim this method never fails and purport to have generated cavernous belly buttons from its application.

Just doing my part to combat post partum depression.
