"Can you breath?"

While sitting in church my niece pointed the the wide black belt I have on.  It is the type of belt that you wear at your empire waist.  She asked, "What's that?"  I say, "A belt."  She points to my natural waist and said, "It's supposed to be there."  I tell her, "Well this one is to be worn higher than your waist."  She looked quizzically at me and asked, "Well, can you at least breath with that on?"
