Watermelon
is such a versatile food. There is virtually no end to the number of
ways you can make a mess with it. Here are a few from our family (not
an exhaustive list, I'm sure):
- Cut it up on any surface
- Eat it over a plate
- Eat it over a table
- Eat it over the floor
- Squeeze the melon over your cup to make watermelon juice
- Save the seeds, wash them in the bathroom sink, and leave them out to dry on the bathroom counter
- Touch something after eating watermelon before washing your hands
- Put your coloring paper on the table after eating watermelon but before the table has been wiped
- Feed your chickens watermelon rinds (at least this is an outside mess)
- Put your just-bought/picked melon on the counter or table before washing it (how clean is that dirt?)
- Drop your seeds (accidentally, of course) on the floor
- Miss the trash can
Care to add to my list? I love the summer, but I think that once fall gets here, things will not be nearly so...sticky.

hey - I was gonna say give it to a toddler! MicheleC11 beat me to it!
I do think it deserves to be mentioned twice, however, because said toddler will not only make a mess of it where she is eating it, BUT you get the added mess of cleaning it out of her clothes later! |
