I love watermelon and wouldn't care about the seeds in it. My mother was worried about my habit of eating seeds along with watermelon. So she told me that if I ate the seeds, the creeper would grow from my stomach. Though it was scary I used to wonder how cool it would be to grow melon and eat it without having to spend money on buying it! Anyway, I stopped eating seeds of all fruits after that.
