My parents used to tell me that if you ate the black seeds from watermelon you would turn into a big black dog.

My sister told my niece and I when we were little that if we ate the big black watermelon seeds, we would grow a watermelon in our stomach! I believed her for along time!

I used to believe that if you ate the seeds in a Watermelon you would grow Watermelon in your tummy.

Until I was about 7 or 8, I used to believe that if you ate a watermelon seed you would end up growing a watermelon inside your tummy... I didn't realize that the women "growing watermelons" were actually just pregnant.

i used to think if you swallowed black watermelon seeds then a watermelon would grow in your stomach and come out of your belly button

I used to believe that if you ate watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in your stomach. It made sense to me because i just thought that a pregnant woman ate some watermelon seeds by accident.

When I was 4 my 5 year old brother told me if I swallowed a watermelon seed and then ate some
dirt that I could grow a watermelon in my stomach.
So natually I did it. I looked at my belly and could've
swore that it was growing. I got scared and told my
mother about it and she said that I would be OK and I couldn't grow a watermelon in my stomach.
But for a long time I still thought there might be one
growing in there.

i used to believe when I saw a Pregnant Lady, that she must have eaten a watermelon, and the seed grew a watermelon in her tummy.... I remember sitting next a "ready to pop, lady" hoping she'd bring that huge melen to the next church picnic!!! (she had triplets 10 days later.....I was disappointed).

I used to believe that seeds, if ingested, would grow into trees within you. I remember being terrified after eating a watermelon slice with a seed. I refused to drink water coz watering the seed would make it a plant then a tree.

I used to believe that if you swallowed a watermelon seed, a watermelon tree would grow inside your stomach and you would explode.

when I was young, my grandpa used to tell me that if I ate watermelons, I would grow chest-hair. I'm a girl, so I haven't eaten a watermelon since.

swallowing a watermelon seed makes a watermelon grow in your tummy.

When me and my cousin were little we had a problem with eating watermelon, because we ate the seeds too. So one day at a family get together, they decided to tell us that if we ate the seeds that watermellons would grow in our belly's. My cousin still to this day (were 19) won't eat watermelon seeds.

When I was little I believed that if you ate the white part of the watermelon rind you would die. I have no idea where that came from.

Rebekah

My grandpa has a really big stomach, and when i was little he told me and my sister that if you swallowed watermelon seeds that one would grow in your tummy. Then he'd say that it's too big to be pooped out and it would stay in there for the rest of your life. After that, he used to pretend to swallow the seeds (but we believed him) and that's why we thought his stomach was so big.

When I was younger, my older sis told me not to eat thore little black seeds in my watermelons. I did it and told her. She said, "Uh oh, now your skin is going to fall off, and your going to grow woatermelon gardens in your tummy." I believed her, and got really mad. To this day we laugh at it.

Watermelon tummy

I used to think that if you ate a water melon seed a plant would grow inside you.I still spit out the seeds to this day (out of habit:P) My mum also used to tell me if you ate the green part you would get sick, so one day when i ate some of the green part i ran around the house saying i was gonna die!

When I was a little girl, whenever I ate a watermelon I was always told by my cousin not to swallow the black seeds because it would grow into a baby in my stomach. So, for the longest time I believed this and spit every seed out diligently for fear of getting a big belly and having a baby.
