After getting over the belief that swallowing seeds would cause trees (or plants) to grow in my tummy, I latched onto the belief that it was impossible to grow anything in your body..... until I met Steph. When she was a toddler, she stuffed a bean up her nose. It wasn't too unpleasant at first, so no one noticed. After a couple of days, it began to stink and to affect her breathing. When it was removed at the hospital, the bean had actually begun to germinate.... so I was wrong again!
