When I was young, I was told that when eating fruits such as watermelons which has lots of seeds in it, if you accidentally swallow those seeds, a watermelon plant might just grow on top of your head. Same goes for other fruits like oranges or grapes. And I believed that until I was like 7 years old when common sense finally kicked in.
