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!

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".

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...

A grown-up once told me when I was eating watermelon to never swallow the seeds or they would grow in my belly. The grown-up then pointed out a pregnant woman and said she had swallowed a watermelon seed. I was VERY careful everytime I ate watermelon that I didn't swallow a single seed!
