I'm the same as your husband. Maybe it's a middle east thing.
Very much so!
My father used to pick up a watermelon, hold it up to his ear and tap it. Apparently this told him if it was ripe.
I was so embarrassed as a child lol
Yes! 😂 I have witnessed the tapping.
Oh my god I thought it was just my old man 🤣🤣🤣
😂 I've seen it being done to cantaloupe too 😂
If you ever find out what exactly he's listening for, please share the secret lol
A secret handshake sort of thing maybe?
He needs to pass down the cultural knowledge lol
