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!

My dad told me if I swallowed watermelon or apple seeds that plants would grow in my stomach. I thought that was so cool that I swallowed a bunch of seeds just to see it work. How disappointed I was when this didn't come to, erm, fruition.

I used to think that swallowing watermelon seeds would result in actual growth of watermelon in my stomach...i still do.

i used to believe that swallowing an apple or watermelon seed would cause the fruit to grow and grow inside you until your stomach exploded.

I used to believe that if you accidentally ate grape pips you 'd get appendicitis.

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.

WHEN I WAS LITTLE MY OLDER BROTHER TOLD ME THAT IF I ATE WATERMELON PIPS THEN WATERMELONS WOULD START GROWING OUT MY EARS AND NOSE SO I WAS ALWAYS TO SCARED TO EAT IT

I used to think that the popcorn seeds just came from a plant, i never knew it was from corn.. Until my friend told me when we where eating it one day..
till i was like 15. No-one ever told 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!

My nan once told me that if you swallowed a watermelon seed, one would grow inside you. I did that one day when I was about 6 and I had never been so scared in my life. Even after everyone told me it couldnt happen, I was still wary of them until I was about 16

My dad would always tell us that seeds for ccoking and on buns were bugs, I always tried to look for the legs.
He would also always say"It will put hair on your chest", which was horrifying to a girl.

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 little my mom told me not to swallow watermelon seeds or I would grow a watermelon in my belly - for years when I would see a pregnant woman I believed she had swallowed the seds!

Suzi

My best friend's mother always told us not to swallow the watermelon seeds or you'll have a watermelon growing on the top of your head. What a scary image that was for us!

tommyg

I thought that if you swallowed water melon seeds, all you had to do was eat some sand and have a drink and grow more watermelon's in your stomach - didn't think about how they'd get out...

When we were younger, I told my little brother that if you planted a sesame seed from the top of a hamburger bunn, then a hamburger tree would grow. After a while I felt bad because he planted one in our back yard and would water it, thinking he was going to have a hamburger tree.

I thought the caraway seeds in my great aunt's rye bread were mouse droppings, and there was no way I was going to eat that bread.
I also thought Sen-Sen, breath mints?, was really Sin-Sin, and I thought the Methodist Church which I attended should get on the ball and get rid of it as fast as possible.
