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 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 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

When I was little, I ate an orange and accidentally swallowed the seed. I used to believe that if I drank water, that a tree would start growing out of my mouth.

when I was 5, my brother told me that if I swallowed the seeds of any friut I ate - like watermelon or guava seeds, a tree would start growing in my tummy and come out through the top of my head. I picked out every seed in every fruit I ate ... for years. In the meantime, my brother was happily gobbling up more fruit cause I was taking so long over each slice I ate!

When I was young I use to believe that if you swallowed a seed from any fruit such as an apple, if you opened your mouth up to the sun, a plant would grown inside your tummy. Wasn't that such an hillarious thought!

My dad said that if I swallowed the seed of anything, a small tree of the fruit of vegetable would grow in my stomach.

When I was younger my older sister told me that if I swallowed a seed a tree would grow inside of me. I believed her! I was very careful anytime I ate fruit with seeds in them. Imagine my struggle as I ate a watermelon!

It was common knowledge when I was little that if you ate apple seeds a tree would grow and grow inside you until branches would be coming out of your ears. ALL the kids knew this!

That if you ate the pips out of oranges a orange tree would sprout out of you.

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 about 4 or 5 i used 2 believe that if i swallowed a pip from an orange an orange tree would grow in mu stomach. i swallowed a pip and cried for ages till my mum told me a tree wouldnt grow out of my stomach

My mum always told me I should never eat the core of an apple, and for ages I believed this was because the pips would sprout inside my stomach and I'd have an apple tree growing out of the top of my head.

Reya

It was one of my belief that if we ate
some fruit's seed so it would be bad for our health so one day when I had eaten an orange seed I went to my mom crying, and when I explained her that what had happened she told me that a tree would grow out of my mouth and from that day on I never ate a single fruit seed for 1 year.

Lisa4life

As a kid, I believed that if I swallowed fruit seeds, the seeds would grow into plants inside my stomach! So I'd be scared to death every time I happened to swallow one.
