Mémère took our (me and brothers and sisters) nombril (nom-
bree) and buried them in Dad and Mom’s garden in Pine Prairie. She said that it was human and so you must bury it. Nombril is belly
button. Mom told me it was a common
thing to do and many people still do.
Quand nombril tomber, I'll bury it. I'm not sure how to write it in French. It's the piece of your umbilical cord at birth. But she called it nombril.
