Can't wait for the summer!

Summer is still a few months away and I really can't wait for it. I'm just waiting for that ONE THING from my childhood that I have a taste for the entire year. That ONE THING that unfortunately for me is really only in season during the summer unless you live some place where it is always summer. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ........ WATERMELON! You see when I was a kid; my grandfather, aunt, and my uncle would come down to Mississippi in their van to pick me up because I would go to Chicago for the summer. It was always a good time with my family up north because I got a break from being babied and actually had some freedom, but I digress. My family was BIG on watermelon and they would buy 3 or 4 at a time because I could eat an entire watermelon by myself. Almost every other day, me, my younger cousin, my grandfather, and my aunt would go to the store and get a load of groceries; about 4 watermelons included in that. Once we got back home we would put the watermelons in the deep freezer to chill for about an hour. After that it was ready to cut into; my aunt would cut it and cube it up and she would have a huge bowl just for me. Even though I haven't been to Chicago in a long time I still try to get as much watermelon during the summer as I can. Only problem is my mom thinks it is too sweet and never buys it for me :(. Hopefully this year I can get the money to go to Chicago this year and have all the watermelon I can handle. [b]Do you guys like watermelon? How much of it can you eat in one sitting?[/b]
