smashed watermelon on the ground close up

When I was little, my mother used to teach me how to be clean and how to wash everything that falls on the ground. I used that advice. One day we had a guest. My mom asked me to bring a watermelon in a dish from the fridge. When I was taking it out, it suddenly fell on the floor. I collected the pieces of the watermelon one by one and washed them with dishwashing liquid. Then, I put them in the dish again and took to our guest. My mother was talking to her friend while she was looking at watermelon with a surprise. I explained everything and looked for my mother's admiration and approval, but they just laughed. Her friend said that bubbles were coming out of her mouth for three days.
