Watermelon: A Child's Memories

I was looking, touching, tapping and smelling the watermelons at the local market, this Summer has been particularly HOT I love to see how myself and my family enjoy a watermelon slice or in chuncks it does not matter how, I have to mention that our watermelons this years have been tremendously sweet and delicious and believe me had nothing to do with my pre-testing selection because, thru the years I have seen other people doing that so, I just do it as if that actitud would magically point me to the right watermelon and make me look very savvy. So, in any case, I was so busy in my "expert" mechanics that I did not notice the guy, an older gentleman employee that, just was watching me with delight and wondering himself if I secretaly had the knowledge to choose the right watermelon. Well, he offered his kind help and he felt compelled to tell me his anecdote about watermelon and his childhood. And he said, "I love watermelons, I can wait for the harvest of them and eat them every day, reminds me of when I was a child and my Mom had a watermelon for me every year on my Birthday which is in March so, at least where I was living back then March was so far to be watermelon's harvest time so, I don't know how but, my Mom had this arrangement with the owner of the General Store Mr. Jenkins to get her every year in March (he didn't mentioned the date)a Watermelon from Mexico on his Birthday" And, you all know being a Mom's child you do almost anything to make them happy very specially on their Birthday and so, George (the man's name) had enjoyed for the longest time his beloved watermelon and as he told me he still enjoy his watermelon only now, if different. I couldn't help to noticed that his child tale was full of emotion, joy and nostalgy for his Mom her love and care for him was so present every year to provide his delicious watermelon on his Birthday. I hope my children someday remember with the same love that, when they were youngters we all enjoyed our watermelon among laughs unexpectedly building memories. George made my day I was so happy to hear his tale and so happy that I was there for hom when he felt the need to refer to someone his cherished memories. He just made my day! Now what are your memories do you care to share with all of us?
