As a child I would swallow my bubble gum when I was through chewing it. I didn't see the harm in it until my Grandmother caught me one day. She began to explain that if I were to swallow my gum that watermelons could possibly grow in my stomach. That was the last time I ever swallowed gum again. And, no, I never did grow any watermelons.
