when i was around 4 yrs old, my mom convinced me that if i eat the fruit's seed, i can grow that fruit's tree on my head. once i've aten one of the orange's seed n i was really scared the 'growing' tree on my head.so then i cried so loud told my mom to take me to the doctor n have an operation but she doesnt want. she said it will be good if i can grow the orange tree on my head so she wont have to spend her money buying orange. it was really scary. i've always believed her until i was about 12 yrs old. stupid huh..

my brother told me that if you ate the back seeds from watermelon, that you would die becasuse a watermelon would grow in your stomach and explode. When I accidently ate one I went inside and cried, i was like 3 years old, when i woke up in the morning I figured he'd lied to me

Whenever I ate an orange seed I would cry and cry because I believed that an orange tree would grow out of my mouth from my stomach. I was all the more scared because orange trees have spiky branches. My mum said that if I was a good boy, the seed would die, needless to say, I was at my best behaviour until I believed the seed had died.

When I was in the 3rd grsde I used to think that if you swallowed a seed when eating an orange, a tree would grow out of your mouth.
I never ate oranges.

When I was a little one, my freinds used to say that if I swallow seeds of fruits, it will grow into a plant and then a tree, and come out bursting my skull. Even now if I swallow seeds accidentally, I think of it.

When I was six, my gran told me (i was eating an apple) that if I swallow any seed of any fruits, a tree would grow in my stomach.
I was completly obssesed by retreiving all seed of all fruits I could eat after that (including grapes.. ever tried??)

My uncle Son used to told me that seeds I swallowed can grow into a tree through my belly. And if I do not clean myself frequently, it can generate enough fertilizer to become a real big tree, bearing fruit.

My mum used to tell me that if I accidentally swallowed an apple pip or cherry stone, that a tree would grow out of my ears. Only a couple of years ago, I realised why I got a horrible feeling of dread whenever I ate a pip!!

When I was young I used to believe that if you swallowed the pips of fruit that particular fruit plant would grow out of my bum.It really scared me as a kid.

I used to be very scared of swallowing seeds when i was small. Once when swallowed a seed of a lemon, and i refused to open my mouth in the morning coz i felt if i opened my mouth, the branches of the klemon tree would come out of it.

I must have been about three when my grandad used to tell me that if I ate the apple core and pips I'd have an apple tree grow out of my stoumach, and I would poop roots and get stuck in the loo! To this day I still won't eat apple cores but I encourage my daughter to eat it for the nutritional value.

When I was young I thought than if you ate grapes with seeds in them you would get grapes growing in your tummy.

My neighbor died of stomach cancer, but it was described to me at the age of 5 or 6 as "something growing inside of her." Thus, I envisioned cancer as a plant that kept growing inside of you until it killed you.

From then on, I was very careful about eating watermellon, apples, or anything else that might put a seed into my stomach and cause a plant to grow!

Chris

I used to think that if you swallowed an orange or an apple seed the tree would grow in your stomach.
This concerned me greatly when I accidentally swallowed some one day.
My mother set me straight on stomach acid and soil!

Georgia Dakkis

i was told by an older cousin that if i ate an apple pip i would grow apples in my tummy, i was terrified i would have an apple tree growing in my stomach for ages after i accidently ate one.

If I ever ate an apple as a girl I would never dare eat a pip as I believed an apple tree would grow in my tummy and eventually kill me. I still cannot swallow pips.

Lisa

I used to believe that if I swallowed a seed a tree would grow inside me.

My sister tood me that if I ate sunflower seeds they would grow inside me. I used to have night terrors about giant flowers growing out of my eyes and mouth. Suprisingly I get on well with my sister despite her mental torture.
