I swallowed a pit. Well you know
can jarr your mind. That's exactly
what happened to me—I threw a
pit fit. It jarred my mind into
remembering an extremely trau-
matic experience that happened to
me when I was a child. I remem-
bered the time I planted water-
melon seeds and grew pumpkins.
I'll never forget how it happened.
It all started early one fall when
all were eating watermelons. Now
these weren't normal everyday,
stereotype watermelons... No sir,
these were a special kind. I don't
know what you call them but they
were small; round, dark green, un-
usual looking watermelons. At any
rate, we decided that since we had
a little garden we might as well
save the watermelon seeds and
plant them in the spring. We put
