When i was younger i was told by my mum that if you ate an orange pip you would get orange trees goin out your ears. I was a only 3 and i was really scared when i was eating an orange and...yes you've guessed it...i ate the pip. I was crying my eyes out and i ran into the bathroom and washed my ears out. Then i had my mum guive me a lecture on how it needed soil and sun and water to grow.
