          But you still need a pretty decent knife to cut into it. Which a kindergartner shouldn’t have at school. Or they could bash it on the table till it breaks open I guess. I’m sure the teachers and janitors will love that.

            Naturally, pack a big knife with the melon. The teacher will change tune pretty quick if the kid has a knife.

              That’s a good point. Never just bring a watermelon to a kindergarten knife fight.

      When I worked in a produce department when I was a teen, there was a brand of watermelon called “Senior Sandia” (Mister Watermelon). So when we got that brand in I’d usually cut out a face on one like a friendly pumpkin and put him on display. Sometimes he’d get a hat n shit if I had one handy. My boss was just confused at these displays until I told pointed out the brand. I was then banned from giving Mister Watermelon the life he deserved.
