Too Much Watermellon


I know a little boy, who shall remain nameless, who pees the bed when he’s had too much watermelon. So when our friends brought their daughters to our house for a cookout I kept teasing them, “Don’t eat too much, you’ll pee the bed.”

I should have listened to my own advice. Apparently this rule applies to adults and children alike.

I woke up the next morning quite abruptly. As I bailed out of bed I said to Josh, “Don’t roll over.” So naturally he asked, “Why? Is Jackson in the bed?”

Nope. I was just being courteous enough to try and keep him out of the wet spot. I’m sure you’ve painted yourself quite the mental picture. But it’s not as bad as you think. It’s not like I had to lay down newspapers. Lets call it a squirt – or a dribble, maybe.

Between the watermelon and the very vivid dream I was having about sitting on the toilet, it was bound to happen. Not only was I sitting on the toilet in my dream, my hands were in warm water. So as you can see, this really was not my fault.

Nevertheless, take my advice. Don’t eat too much watermelon.
