A Watermelon Story
Joe called me on his way home from the lab sweetly offering to bring me some lunch. I feel the same way most wives do, meaning I really appreciate the little things my husband does for me, this being just one example. I thanked him and asked him to bring me a watermelon. On this hot, August day, nothing was calling my name more than a piece of juicy, refreshing watermelon.
Darling Joe arrived home with a “personal sized” watermelon just for me. I was upstairs doing laundry, so I asked “the chef” to cut it, thinking that even if he sliced it, it would just taste better. I did not have the forethought to say, please don’t cook it, season it, or alter it. Duh.
