I was eating a huge slice of watermelon when I was small and as I took a bite, lost my first loose tooth. I was so shocked about losing my tooth that I swallowed one of the big black seeds by accident. I told my dad and he said that I was going to grow a watermelon inside my tummy! I was so scared about how I would get it out too--whether I would have to have surgery or if I would have to poop out a big watermelon! I believed him for the longest time.
