If you swallow a seed a plant will grow inside you.

i used to believe if i ate fruits and accidently swallowed the seeds, the tree would grow in my stomach and the branches and leaves would grow out of my mouth.

when i was young around 5 or so i loved grapes sooo much until one day my aunts and uncles decided to scare me... they told me if i swallowed the seed a tree would grow out of my head... i believed it until i was 10 when i wondered how on earth can a persons head stand the weight of a tree??

When i was younger i thought that if you swallowed a seed, a fruit tree of the same type of fruit would grow inside my stomach, eg if i ate an apple seed, an apple tree would grow. It would then pop out of my mouth. I never figured it was wrong, even when nothing came out of my mouth...

as small kids we were encouraged to eat lots of fruits(which holds good even today).once i was eating a guavaan dmy mother comes and tells me not to eat the seeds and only to eat the rind!!.don't you eat the the seeds,otherwise a tree would grow from your stomach and come out through your mouth!!!.

tosh.

When I was eating any fruit, I was told by my parents I should never swallow the seeds or a tree would grow inside me and the branches would come out of my ears.

Then I found out that the appendix might get blocked by ingesting seeds and other hard to digest things.

When I was little I believed that if you ate any type of seed that a real plant would grow in my stomach and eventually kill me. I never ate seeds until I was in middle school.
