So on Friday, we got a watermelon from the grocery store. YUM! We were so excited. Ellie's very, very favorite food is watermelon! After dinner, I went to cut it up. I put it on the cutting board, got out my huge knife and cut into it.
Kaaa-POW!!!!
Water squirted everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It was like a water-bomb went off. There was water all over the cabinets, the walls, the counters, the floor, ME, inside the cabinets… EVERYWHERE.
You think I'm exaggerating? I had to change my underwear. That is how much water squirted all over me.
Once the water stopped, I was able to cut the watermelon open – it was totally rotten.
Then, I had to wash my floors, counters, and cabinets FIVE TIMES before they stopped being sticky.
Did I mention that our house is on the market and needs to be clean, like, all the time?
So the lesson is: whenever possible, cut watermelon outside.

That is hilarious! I hate when watermelon sprays, but so good at the same time.
Rotten watermelon however…not so much.
Oh noes!!! Not fun. Not fun AT ALL.
OH NO! I had no idea this could happen!!!
That is so funny! Oh my

Thanks for the safety alert! never heard of this happening…but because I have white cabinets and floor in the kitchen I have banned all watermelons from ‘indoor cutting’!
Bless you!
