What’s something weird or funny you believed as a kid?

G'day, members! Hope you’re having a sweet and sunny afternoon. Speaking of sweet… I had some watermelon after lunch today, and completely by accident, I swallowed a seed.

Now, as an adult, I know that’s totally fine. But it made me laugh because it instantly brought back a memory from when I was little. My cousins used to tell me—with absolute confidence—that if I swallowed a watermelon seed, it would grow into a full watermelon plant inside my tummy. Let’s just say… I panicked. Full-blown tears. I was convinced I'd have vines growing out of me in no time! 😂

It’s funny how these little things stick with us, isn’t it? Kids have such wild imaginations—and honestly, some of the stuff we believed back then was hilarious.

So, I’m curious… What’s something weird or funny you believed as a kid?
Did you think the moon followed your car? Or that chewing gum stayed in your tummy for seven years? I’d love to hear your stories. Let’s have a laugh down memory lane together!
