When I was little my grandfather told me that if you swallowed a watermelon seed a baby would grow in your belly. Black seeds made black babies, and white seeds made white babies. When I went to my older & wiser 12 yr old aunt upset that I was going to have a baby after accidently swallowing a seed, she explained that you could only have a baby if a boy and girls pee-pees touched. For a long time after that I was scared to pee in a toilet without first flushing it, thinking there might be some boy pee in it and make a baby.
