When I was little my Dad convinced me that if I swallowed a cherry seed, a tree would grow out of my ass. I remember always being extremely careful...but accidentally swallowing one one time. I ran to the basement and started crying and when my Mom followed me and asked what was wrong, I told her I didn't want to have a tree grow out of my bum and that I accidentally swallowed a pit and that I needed surgery because I didn't want to look stupid. I was like...5.
