Simplest Way To Eat A Watermelon

Alycia loves watermelon; however she dislikes cutting up one. I used to be the one peeling and slicing watermelon, including cutting off the skin for everyone to savor this juicy fruit conveniently like kings and queens.  Ever since Maria stopped coming to help us in the evenings, I have lesser time on hand for doing such things. So I delegated the task of cutting melons (watermelon, rock melon, honeydew) to Alycia. She bemoans doing this tedious task most of the time. She bemoans each time she's asked to do any chore but she'll still do it. But which mother likes to hear complaints, eh? 😒 She's just not cut to be in the kitchen but I'm trying to train her to be adept in the kitchen to save herself in future.

Recently, Alycia discovered a really quick and mess-free way of serving watermelon to everyone. She uses an ice-cream scoop to scrape the melon flesh into balls. And after she's done with scooping up the melon balls (which actually don't look like balls but a Tupperware of red mess in odd shapes and sizes! 😖), she uses a stainless steel straw to savor the watermelon juice. 

This is Alycia's life's simplest pleasure. She's having a time of her life now doing nothing at home and she's got another 2.5 months to lollygag at home before she goes to college in early September.

Another simple pleasure for this girl - shopping at the biscuit and snacks shop with me. Like a little girl in a toy shop, she told me that the biscuit shop is her wonderland 😆 and I ended up spending over RM30 just on biscuits and snacks today.
