When I was 4 my 5 year old brother told me if I swallowed a watermelon seed and then ate some
dirt that I could grow a watermelon in my stomach.
So natually I did it. I looked at my belly and could've
swore that it was growing. I got scared and told my
mother about it and she said that I would be OK and I couldn't grow a watermelon in my stomach.
But for a long time I still thought there might be one
growing in there.
