seeds

When I was a little girl I was eating a slice of watermelon and accidentally swolled a seed. My grandmother told me that the seed would grow into a watermelon inside my stomach. I was horrified. I thought when the watermelon grew I would explode. I cried and cried because I thought I was going to die!

my uncle told me when I was eating a watermelon seed that my aunt was pregnant because she accidentally swallowed a watermelon seed. I continued to pick all of the seeds out of my watermelon, turning it into a big pile of mush, until atleast 6th grade when I had took Human Growth and Development.

When I was little I thought that when you swallowed seeds, a tree would grow in your stomach. I thought that when you drank water that would make the tree grow bigger, so I got really scared when I swallowed a watermelon seed by accident. I thought that a watermelon tree would grow in my stomach. I told my mom that and she laughed at me.

When I was younger, I was riding in a car with my grandparents. The ride was going to be long so they gave me an apple to eat. After I was finished with it I got bored and started picking the seeds out of the core. I placed the seeds on the seat next to me.

Well, then we went over a speedbump and it looked like the appleseeds were jumping. I screamed bloody murder because I thought they were mad at me for taking them out of the apple. O_o

Up until the age of six, I used to believe that if you ate a watermelon seed, the watermelon would grow inside you. Needless to say I convinced my mother to buy only seedless watermelons for quite some time. My sister, who is two years younger than me, believed this for some time too!

Seedless

When i was about 5 or 6 i used to believe that if i swallowed a seed from a watermelon, it would start to grow in my stomach. it would grow so big that my stomach would get bigger and bigger and bigger!! I believed this until i was about 9!! :)

My parents once told me that if i ate the black seeds in watermelons, i would choke on them and i would be unconcious for hours until a watermelon grew in my throat and then they would have to take me to the hospital to they could cut my throat open and take the watermelon out...then the doctors would eat it...i accidentaly swallowed one once when i was about 6...i wouldnt stop crying. :)

When I was little, my mom and aunt used to tell me if I ate black watermelon seeds I would grow a flower on my head.
They also said the same thing to me when they found out I ate a sheet of paper. I was so scared.

I was eating a huge slice of watermelon when I was small and as I took a bite, lost my first loose tooth. I was so shocked about losing my tooth that I swallowed one of the big black seeds by accident. I told my dad and he said that I was going to grow a watermelon inside my tummy! I was so scared about how I would get it out too--whether I would have to have surgery or if I would have to poop out a big watermelon! I believed him for the longest time.

I remember when one of my elementary school friends came over and said that the sunflower seeds in our whole wheat bread were buggers. I continue to avoid bread containing sunflower seeds.

When I was younger, I used to think that if you swallowed a fruit seed it would grow in your stomach, so I cried when I accidently swallowed a watermelon seed. I believed it until I was 10.

I once swallowed a watermelon seed and freaked out afraid a watermelon would start growing. I remembered a couple days before I accidentally ate dirt and so I freaked out because I also drank some water to wash it down so I thought I just sprouted a watermelon.

My dad once told me that if you ate the seeds in an apple you would be smarter, so on my first day at school i ate an apple whole at lunch-time. When my teacher asked me why, i told her what my dad said and she just laughed at me. It took me a long time to realise why she had laughed.

I used to believe that if you ate the black seeds from watermelon a watermelon would grow in your stomach and I thought that was what happened to pregnant women.

i heard just like everybody else that if you eat seeds then a watermelon would grow inside of you. but whenever i ate the seeds nothing happened and, needless to say, i was very dissapointed.

My bother told me that if you eat watermelon seeds then a watermelon grew in your stomach and he said his friend had one and it grew so big it exploded

My mother said that if you swallowed a watermelon seed, a watermelon tree would grow on your head. I would try hard not to, but whenever I think I accidentally did, I constantly checked the mirror...of course, the tree never grew =(

When I was little my mom told me not to eat the seeds of a watermelon cause it would grow in my stomach. Well I remember seeing a lady in the grocery store that was pregnaunt. I stared at her for awhile, then told my mom to look. She didn't know why I told her to look at this lady, until I whispered that she must have eaten a watermelon seed.
