I\u2019ve featured quotes about watermelon here on the blog in the past (here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>). It\u2019s something I had planned to do on a semi-regular basis, but then I realized something: As awesome as watermelon is, there aren\u2019t that many good quotes about it. (Note to quotable sources: Let\u2019s change that.)<\/p>\n

So I\u2019ve decided to take quotes about other things and \u201cedit\u201d them slightly to make them watermelon-specific, starting with today\u2019s quote from Julia Child. Julia was, of course, a renowned chef who was known for bringing French cuisine to the American public, but I like to think she might have also been a fan of watermelon.<\/p>\n

Plus, even if you add \u201cwatermelon\u201d to her quote like I did above, her words still ring true. Everyone I know who consider themselves a \u201cwatermelon lover\u201d are all really nice people. It makes perfect sense, too. Watermelon has a certain happy vibe about it, so anyone who eats a lot of watermelon might have a positive outlook as well.<\/p>\n

I know I have a good attitude (or at least try to). And any time I\u2019m feeling a little run down, a watermelon snack always seems to cheer me up. Again, that\u2019s just me, but if you\u2019re the same way, you might be one of the \u201cbest people\u201d I know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
