when I was 5, my brother told me that if I swallowed the seeds of any friut I ate - like watermelon or guava seeds, a tree would start growing in my tummy and come out through the top of my head. I picked out every seed in every fruit I ate ... for years. In the meantime, my brother was happily gobbling up more fruit cause I was taking so long over each slice I ate!
