I used to believe that if I swallowed a watermelon seed accidentally, it would grow in my tummy and come out of my eyes, ears and nose!

When I was young, I was told that when eating fruits such as watermelons which has lots of seeds in it, if you accidentally swallow those seeds, a watermelon plant might just grow on top of your head. Same goes for other fruits like oranges or grapes. And I believed that until I was like 7 years old when common sense finally kicked in.

I thought that I was the only one that believed this until I came to this site.
My older sister once told me that if you swallow a black watermelon seed that it would grow into a watermelon in your tummy. I would only eat watermelon if all the black seeds were taken out. Come to think of if I still take out all the black seeds.

I used to believe, thanks to my older sister Lorraine, that if we swallowed watermelon seeds, we would grow one in our bellies!!

I use to believe, because my mom & dad would always tell me,that if I was to eat a Watermelon or a apple seed that I would have them groing inside of me.

when I was around 4, my parents scared me half to death when they told me that the pips that I ate will grow in my stomach. I couldn't imagine that my stomach could grow to the size of a watermelon!

When I was little, in my first day of reception class, I had cress for part of my salad. There were some seeds in it, and this other little kid told me they were ladybirds and told over me for eating ladybirds!

When i was little , my gram and papa used to always tell me when I was eating watermelon, that if I swallowed a seed a watermelon would grow in my tummy. So I would never eat watermelon unless it was seedless, because it scared me so much...

I used to believe that watermelon seeds can grow from my body. When my father told me to be careful not to swallow any, I accidently did sometimes. I was so worry that I would die if a plant came out of my head. I cried until grandma told me the truth.

When I was little everytime I ate watermelon seeds I thought that watermelons would grow inside of me. I was terrified of the seeds for a long time. Then I ran into a pregnent lady and I was screaming saying she ate watermelon seeds and they are grown inside of her. I get bugged my my mom often about that...

I used to think it was okay to eat sunflower seeds--shell and all. Eventually my mom helped me link my stomach ache to "shell and all".

I qquestion the fact that my cousin had a very big tummy. I was told that she swallowed a watermellow seed & it grew.
I refused to eat watermellon for the longest time (My cousin had a beautiful baby girl.)

My older sisters used to tell me that if I ate dirt, watermelon seeds, and went out into the sun I would start to grow watermelons in my stomach.
