My parents once told me that if i ate the black seeds in watermelons, i would choke on them and i would be unconcious for hours until a watermelon grew in my throat and then they would have to take me to the hospital to they could cut my throat open and take the watermelon out...then the doctors would eat it...i accidentaly swallowed one once when i was about 6...i wouldnt stop crying. :)
