Watermelon seeds

Remember the fun as a child. Eating watermelon outside and seeing who could spit the black seeds the furthest.

Then as an adult, the seeds became a nuisance. Luckily, this was about the time when "seedless" watermelons came out. Now they are pretty much the norm.

Why am I discussing this? Tonight, after supper, I cut up some watermelon for dessert. Darrelyn found a "rock" in her watermelon. I explained it was a seed. She quickly informed me that watermelon seeds are white.

That was when I told her and Breanna all about the glory days. When watermelons were full of those seeds. Darrelyn then thought she must be very lucky if she found one in her watermelon and decided to dry it out and add it to her rock collection.

You know, like a person would preserve a fossil.
