Because you asked

The watermelon-cut-with-a-sword really was an event not to be missed around these here parts.

And my husband, the funny guy who owns a sword that he keeps stashed under our bed, has done a play by play of the sword swiping event.

It actually was pretty impressive.

(And a better method of cutting watermelon than my weak little kitchen knife ever provides.)

Seriously – he sliced the whole watermelon.

First in half.

Then in slices.

And then,

because he doesn’t play around,

he came at the sliced watermelon from an angle and cut the whole thing in half lengthwise again.
