when i was in kindergarten i was eating watermelon and swallowed a seed. my teacher told me a watermelon would grow in my stomach and i was so terrified that i started crying and had to leave the room. to this day i make sure not to swallow watermelon seeds even though i know it's impossible for a watermelon to grow in my stomach.
