I Remember When...
...Watermelon had SEEDS!
Yes, this is ANOTHER "When I Was a Kid" Story.
My childhood memories of summer include family picnics/bbq at the beach or park. Watermelon was naturally part of the menu.This post was prompted by the recent 4th Of July holiday. We had watermelon and my son loves it. It was pre-cut and seedless. Oh how convenient. Boo for convenience. I like it better the old fashioned way cut in wedges and eating it down to the slightly salty rind. I vividly remember spitting out the black slippery seeds to see how far they would fly! Now kids eat seedless watermelon. Well that takes the fun out of it. Does anyone else in the world remember swallowing a seed accidentally and being told that a watermelon would start to grow in your tummy?
