Watermelon
As you may know if you’ve been reading along since the beginning, Mikey was OBSESSED with watermelon for about a decade. He ate it daily, even through the winter when watermelon is not sweet, but rather watery and crunchy. Just gross!
Apparently, Mikey was so excited about watermelon, we needed to have a journal entry dedicated to this delicacy. Okay, Mikey…I’m on board in the summer when watermelon is in season. In the winter, you’re on your own, my friend.
After a while, Mikey tired himself out on watermelon and now he won’t eat it no matter what. In fact, he looks at me like I’m crazy when I offer. Total gaslighting, in my opinion. LOL.
