I accedently swallowed a watermelon seed on time when i was about 5 and my sister and brother both convinced me it would grow inside of me, and get bigger and bigger until the green leaves came out my nose and my ears and my mouth, and eventually I would die. And there would be a perfectly good watermelon inside of me! EW!
