My cousins told me that if you eat the white part of the watermelon rind it will poison you... for years I left a respectful inch of the good stuff above the rind... though I was eventually disabused of the notion.

When I was a child, my father told me that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, I would be pregnant. Later that year, my aunt was pregnant and I told her she shouldn't have swallowed that seed. Everyone laughed, except me. I didn't see what was so funny.

My Dad used to tell me that if I ever swallowed a watermelon seed, a watermelon would grow in my stomach. So whenever I ate watermelon I would stand near the trashcan and pick out the seeds.

I was 7 and was staying with my aunt in the country. She grew some vegetables there - cucumbers, pea. Once my uncle brought a watermelon from the market and put it among the cucumbers in the garden. I woke up in the morning and was really surprised to discover that a watermelon had grown in our garden overnight. but lol, I used to believe that up to the age of 12 or so, until my mother put me straight.

I used to believe, that a watermelon seed could somehow get stuck in my ear and grow there and it could become so big that it will damage my head. I never eat watermelons.

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.

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

My cousins used to tell me if you ate watermelon seed and then drank water straight after you would grow a watermelon tree in your stomach. After that i picked all the seeds out when i ate watermelons.

When I was younger I used to believe that if I swallowed watermelon seeds that I would get pregnant. So for the longest time I was afraid to eat watermelon. I owe this to my siblings. Now I know better.

When I was little, my stepmother told me that if I ate a watermelon seen, I would grow a big fat watermelon in may tummy and I would get really sick. Well, I had a watermelon eating contest and tried very hard not to eat any, but then I started to feel sick because I thought I ate one and so it had me scared to death!!

My mom used to tell me that I musn't eat anything but the pink part of the watermelon. She said that the pips would grow in my tummy, and that the green part by the skin would kill me if I ate it...

My classmate told me that If I ate a Watermelon I'll have watermelon growing in my stomach.....I told it to the tearcher and he told me that a watermelon can't grow there because of acid in our body.......It can't survive but anything is possible but maybe not this!!!! K
