Nonchalant Watermelons

I was walking home yesterday evening with Matt, and we were passing by the Hatishbi convenience store, when one of the clerks lost all his watermelons out the back of his cart. He was pushing them into the store display when the back end of the cart opened, and out rolled all the little watermelons down the street.

The funny part was, they were rolling quite slowly, amiably, as if they were in no particular rush to get to the bottom of the road, which inclines slightly. And the clerk didn't seem to be in any rush either. He sort of watched the watermelons roll for a second or two, then ambled after them in a half-hearted attempt to stop The Scattering Of The Melons. (I liken it to a very funny YouTube clip. Not quite Ahmed the Dead Terrorist funny, but you know, pretty darn funny.)

I like the idea of nonchalant, unhurried watermelons. Makes me smile.
