It also makes us happier. My husband had a revelation the other night and shared it with me. It went something like this. "I don't have a single bad memory involving watermelons."
I could tell he was really impressed by that thought, so I stopped to ponder it, too. The truth is I don't really like watermelons, but I don't have any bad memories of them, either. It must be because when watermelons are served, the mood turns festive. And I might pass on the watermelon, but I like a good party.
So, if you need to change the way your day is going, lop off the end of a chilled watermelon and start cutting huge chunks of the sweet stuff and handing them out to whoever is nearby. Then, stand back and watch the smiles. Maybe snap a few photos....because watermelons make smiles, and smiles make for good memories.
