War Games

Watermelon seeds make excellent bullets when propelled in large quantities from the mouth.
Our house is covered with them at the moment.
Tomorrow I will sweep the carpet of dried seeds from the floor, scooping the many little weapons of minimal destruction into the garbage.

We order huge fresh watermelons for delivery - partially to satiate my addiction and appetite for literally kilos and kilos of fruit every day and partly to fuel my small spitting army.

Actually, Hamid started it well over a year ago one night while we were sitting nicely watching a movie together until he turned, mouth stocked with the little black pellets, and shot them straight into the side of my unsuspecting face.

Of course, I retaliated.
