I used to believe that watermelon trees would grow out of my ears if I swallowed the seed. I also believed that if I drank dark coffee my skin would turn black, these are the things my grandpa told me. Of course, I know better now at 31 years old.

when I was about 5 my aunt was pregnant and she told me that she swallowed a watermelon seed and it was growing inside of her. and I was so scared it would take me like hours to finish a watermelon to make sure I got all the seeds out.

When I was little everytime I ate watermelon seeds I thought that watermelons would grow inside of me. I was terrified of the seeds for a long time. Then I ran into a pregnent lady and I was screaming saying she ate watermelon seeds and they are grown inside of her. I get bugged my my mom often about that...

My mom made me believe that it I swallowed watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in my stomach OR that if I swallowed my chewing gum, my insides would stick together.

When i was little i believed that the seeds in strawberries were peppers. We used to have salami with the peppers in it and i would not eat it because it was hot to me so i also believed that the seeds would be hot.

When I was about 7 or 8, my sister (7 years older than me) convinced me that the pips in strawberry jam where little insect eggs that would hatch and grow inside me.

I have since discovered that she just liked the strawberry jam herself and didn't want me to eat it all.

I used to think that if you ate the black seeds of the watermelon a watermelon would grow inside of you and your stomach would explode. Another watermelon fear of mine was that if you ate the white part of a watermelon slice you would die. I also thought that poison was only liquid and came in bottles, and you could tell if it was poison if there was a skull and crossbones on the jar.

I was told as a child that if I swallowed a watermelon seed a watermelon would grow in my belly.

One day when I was about 6 my older brother, 11 at the time, saw me eating an orange and noticed I was eating some of the smaller, softer seeds that were in the orange.
He told me a story about our cousin that had been eating oranges like that and had to be rushed to the hospital when they discovered an orange blossom in his ear!
For a while after that I could not eat oranges until my mom started buy naval oranges. And I spread the story until someone at school pointed out my foolery!

When I was four, my mom told me not to eat the black seeds in watermelon. (I still don't know why!) But I knew that I accidentally swallowed one. I kept imagining that a watermelon vine was growing in my stomach. I was afraid to confront my mom, because I thought she would take me to the hospital and get an operation.

at age 4-6 my brother and me loved watermelon sooo much. once we sallow a seed and open our mouth toward the sunlight hoping it would grow in our stomach.

When i was young, Maybe 4, my older brother told me if i planted the seeds on top of Cheeseburgers, a Cheeseburger tree would grow. Needless to say, after weeks of watering and tending, my Cheeseburger tree never sprouted.

when I was a kid I belived if you swallow a watermelon seed a water melon wold grow in your belly.

When my little sister was 3 she asked what would happen to the watermelon seeds that she just swallowed. I told her it would grow in her body and out from the top of her head. She looked at me for a moment. Then I pulled up my sleeve and pointed to my blood vein and said "look these are roots from the ones I swallowed yesterday." She stared at my arm and stoned....

I used to believe that when you ate water-melon seed, it'll grow in your head.
