I used to believe that if I ate the black seeds in watermelon, I'd grow a watermelon in my tummy. So whenever I would get watermelon with any black seeds, I'd spit them out. However, one day I told my mom and dad about the black seeds, and how bad they were b/c you'd grow a watermelon in your stomach. My dad responded, " What? Get outa here...you wont grow a watermelon in your stomach," and everyone was laughing at me.
