We’ve always had to stop our kids from eating the white part of the melon. I’m glad this little boy has made others smile for simply being himself.

I remember this – it was quite an accomplishment.

Not often you see people eat the skin

On another matter mentioned in the article there must have been a reason that security was stepped up and there was delays.

yeah, then he was interviewed and said he wanted to do something to get attention – get on the news… Meh!

A whole watermelon! I hope he washed the skin as they are so dirty.

lol watermelon skin I do hope it was clean

Yes this picture went viral. I can’t believe he ate the skin too. My brother was there with his children , they were on the tv a few times but not all over Facebook lol

I believe his father works at the MCG and I also understand this was a stunt to gain attention, which worked. I don’t find this particularly cute – it irks me the lengths that people will go to for attention.

haha pretty amazing! Just curious though…where were the boys parents? All the footage and photos I’ve seen show him sitting on his own

lol i hope it was clean at least! wow i couldn’t eat the skin, let alone a whole watermelon like that! wow lol amazing!

Now that is an achievement in itself.

Lke jh

Indeed, this picture went viral!! Well done, boy!!

Cute photo! No wonder he stole the show!
