He wouldn't drink water for the rest of the day, to prevent the plant from growing. lol He drank juice though, because it wasn't water. He hoped that without water for the rest of the day and overnight that it'd dry out or the juice would kill it i guess? haha we were really young. | lol that's too funny! As kids we would believe anything! especially coming from grown-ups :rolleyes:
I also remember my grandma telling me not to swallow the gum, otherwise a gum plant will grow in my stomach, a gum plant!!!!!!! |
