Watermelons

By

What’s something you used to believe as a kid that seems ridiculous now?

 I used to believe that if I swallowed watermelon seeds, a watermelon would grow in my stomach. I didn’t even question the science. I just accepted that one wrong bite and I’d be waddling around with a full garden inside me. Childhood was stressful.

    That makes me think of the Rugrats episode where that was the premise.

    Along with watermelon seeds growing in the stomach, we were told that if we swallowed gum it would take seven years to digest.

    In high school biology, I blurted out that standard digestion takes seven years to complete. The teacher didn’t even acknowledge that brilliant insight.
