A book I read when I was really young gave me a bizarre idea of eating seeds. I always used to believe that when you accidentally swallowed any kind of seed- like watermelon or lemon seeds, a huge tree would grow inside of you. I imagined branches coming out through my mouth, ears and nose. I stopped believing that up till I was 13 years old or so.
