I used to love watermelon and was so young I didn't bother to take out the seeds. Watermelon was all that I would want to eat. My mom's way of stopping me was to say that if I ate to many watermelon seeds a watermelon would grow in my stomach. Of course being a young child and seeing how large watermelons were I was scared that the watermelon would grow too big and burts my stomach. Too bad it didn't stop me from eating watermelon, it just took me longer because I would make sure there were no seeds in every single bite.
