I used to think that if you ate the black seeds of the watermelon a watermelon would grow inside of you and your stomach would explode. Another watermelon fear of mine was that if you ate the white part of a watermelon slice you would die. I also thought that poison was only liquid and came in bottles, and you could tell if it was poison if there was a skull and crossbones on the jar.
