When I was four, my mother was pregnant with my little sister. She was about 8 months along when I asked my dad, "Why is mommy so fat?" His answer to me was that she swallowed a watermelon seed and that it was growing in her stomach. I didn't eat watermelon again until 5th grade when the nurses came in and taught us about babies.
