A childhood belief about dangerous food

When I was maybe 4, I jumped off the high diving board at the pool. When I surfaced, my grandpa told me I "must've gotten butterflies from the jump." I was absolutely terrified that I had actually swallowed butterflies, and they were trapped in my stomach. I later whispered to him, completely humiliated, if I would have to poop them out...
