A Watermelon

We picked our first homegrown watermelong yesterday. It was very sweet indeed!! I think this watermelon was the most loved melon in history... JJ checked it everyday, watered it, rubbed it, talked to it, showed it to everyone who visited. Dada had cut open the first melon a couple of weeks ago which was sadly unripe, so we waited and waited for this one. JJ knocked on it to see if it sounded hollow and yesterday decided it was ready. When it was time to cut it open he hid under his bed - the anticipation and excitement was too much. Dada suggested we take a sample with a syringe but I voted we just pick the thing and open it..... (nurses *rolls eyes*) It turned out to be perfect so we danced and celebrated and feasted.
