I couldn't find my bike helmet. So instead of wasting time looking for it, I decided to make a helmet.\u003cbr\u003e     I brought a watermelon from the kitchen out to the front steps. I cut it in half with a plastic knife because I'm not allowed to use real knives and that took forever. Then I scooped out all of the insides. I put the watermelon on my head. It looked really cool. I had an awesome bike helmet, even though it was all drippy and stuff. Then Gus wanted a watermelon helmet, too. So we made his from the other half of the watermelon.\u003cbr\u003e     We didn't know if the helmets were safe for bike riding, so we tested them. We dropped things on them, like a book, splop! And a shoe, clomp! And a wrench, blonk! And then a really big book, kasplop! Then we did one more test. We ran into a wall as hard as we could.\u003cbr\u003e     Wham! \u003cbr\u003e     \u003ci\u003eSplop!\u003c\/i\u003e The helmets cracked, and the juices and gunk ran all over our faces. We couldn't go bike riding.\u003cbr\u003eBut all of that testing had made us hungry. We went back to the steps and scraped all of the watermelon insides into a bowl. But there were ants in it now, and a leaf and a stick. I don't eat ants. (It's not fair to them.) We let the ants have the watermelon, and we picked out the seeds.\u003cbr\u003e     We decided to have a watermelon seed-spitting contest.","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304183714021,"sku":"NP9780307931672","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780307931672.jpg?v=1767729753","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/icky-ricky-1-toilet-paper-mummy-isbn-9780307931672","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
