My mom always told me that if I swallowed seeds from a piece of watermellon that I would have watermellons growing out of my ears!! I use to check the mirror because I swallowed some by accident!

I was told by my brother that if I swallowed the seeds of a watermelon, that I would start to grow a watermelon in my stomach, with a bit of help: "Just make sure you don't swallow any dirt!"

I stayed as far away as I could from bare patches of dirt.

I used to believe that if you swallowed a watermelon seed, that watermelon vines would start growing inside your stomach and eventually come out your mouth.

When I was a kid, my grampa told me that if you swallow the black seeds inside a watermelon, they would grow into watermelons inside your stomach.

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".

My brother hated the seeds in green peppers. So, to make sure I didn't let any seeds make there way into a salad, he told me they were poisonous and that eating even one would kill you. Sadly, I very cautiously removed all seeds from green peppers until I was about 12!
