Probably not, but it\u2019s National Watermelon Day and they\u2019re the only article of watermelon clothing I own.<\/p>\n<p>If I had other watermelon-themed clothing to wear, I would. And if I were wearing watermelon-themed clothing, I\u2019d probably want to protect it with an apron while working in the kitchen. This month\u2019s prize \u2013 a watermelon apron \u2013 would definitely help.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cPowered by watermelon\u201d apron <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01M01BS9R\/ref=cm_sw_su_dp?tag=watermelon04-20\">($22 on Amazon.com<\/a>) slips over your head and ties at the waist, and even includes two pouches in the front. The apron is great for grilling or just whipping up dinner in the kitchen. It would also come in handy while carving watermelon, which can be a pretty messy activity. Trust me, I know.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll choose one comment at random from all the comments left on the blog this month to receive this protective prize. To get the conversation started, what would you store in the two pouches in the front of the apron? If it were me, I\u2019d fill one pouch with gummy candy and the other with dog biscuits. And guess who\u2019d be the most popular guy in the house with kids and dogs? That\u2019s right, the guy in the watermelon apron.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July is behind us, which means National Watermelon Month is over.
