I have just seen a strange sight. Some of the watermelon seeds I started indoors have sprouted and the seed is attached to the leaf and above the soil. Did you ever have anything like that happen?

The 'shell' of the seed is what is attached. The best I can explain is that through the process of germination the actual seed got to the right temperature and moisture and 'opened', germinated yet the hull or the shell that protects the actual seed stayed attached to the newly formed plant. Yes, I have had it happen with melons and even tomatoes.
