If you give a mom a honeydew melon

For those who have enjoyed the book, “If you give a mouse a muffin,”  I hope you enjoy my bent on the story.

If you give a mom a honeydew melon, she’s going to want to eat it for breakfast after going running.  So she looks for a knife to cut it.

When she finds the knife is still dirty, she’s going to need to wash it.

As she washes the knife, she smells a foul order rising from the sink’s drain.  She’s going to need to kill the odor.  So she gets out the baking soda and vinegar.

As she creates a chemical reaction in the drain, she remembers from a magazine article that sending boiling water down the drain is also a good idea.  So she gets out a pan and fills it with water.

As the water boils, she realizes eggs would go well with a honeydew melon and actually feed all five of her family members. 

As she reaches into the fridge to get the eggs, she sees naan bread and thinks that would be tasty with her eggs.

So she warms up the skillet for the eggs and heats up the naan bread in the microwave.

When she closes the microwave door, she sees the counter-top is still dirty from the kids’ cinnamon toast, so she wipes the counter-top.  

When she is finished wiping the counter top, she sees that there are a few clean dishes to put away.

When the dishes are put away, she sees that the eggs are done, and so she calls her family to the table.

As she takes a bite of her tasty egg and naan bread creation, she smiles and remembers the honeydew melon.  It definitely would have been tasty with the eggs.

Yep, folks, this is a true story.  My honeydew melon is still sitting in the fridge waiting to be cut up.
