When I was a little girl I asked my mom if you could eat the seeds of a watermelon slice or if I had to spit them out, she told me that if I swallowed a seed that a watermelon would grow inside of my tummy.

I used to belice that if you planted food, no matter what it was, it would grow that type of food. Imagine my dissapointment when my hot dog tree failed to bare the fruits of my labor! Im still waiting for my Bacon bush to come around

I used to love watermelon and was so young I didn't bother to take out the seeds. Watermelon was all that I would want to eat. My mom's way of stopping me was to say that if I ate to many watermelon seeds a watermelon would grow in my stomach. Of course being a young child and seeing how large watermelons were I was scared that the watermelon would grow too big and burts my stomach. Too bad it didn't stop me from eating watermelon, it just took me longer because I would make sure there were no seeds in every single bite.

I always thought that onions grew on trees like apples and alway wondered why my onion seeds never grew into trees. I thought they were weeds.

I used to believe that watermelon trees would grow out of my ears if I swallowed the seed. I also believed that if I drank dark coffee my skin would turn black, these are the things my grandpa told me. Of course, I know better now at 31 years old.

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...

My mom made me believe that it I swallowed watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in my stomach OR that if I swallowed my chewing gum, my insides would stick together.

When i was little i believed that the seeds in strawberries were peppers. We used to have salami with the peppers in it and i would not eat it because it was hot to me so i also believed that the seeds would be hot.

When I was about 7 or 8, my sister (7 years older than me) convinced me that the pips in strawberry jam where little insect eggs that would hatch and grow inside me.

I have since discovered that she just liked the strawberry jam herself and didn't want me to eat it all.

I used to think that if you ate the black seeds of the watermelon a watermelon would grow inside of you and your stomach would explode. Another watermelon fear of mine was that if you ate the white part of a watermelon slice you would die. I also thought that poison was only liquid and came in bottles, and you could tell if it was poison if there was a skull and crossbones on the jar.

I was told as a child that if I swallowed a watermelon seed a watermelon would grow in my belly.
