I Mean, Really

The boyfriend and I walked to the grocery store yesterday. On the way we passed an alley and the boyfriend insisted we go down it so he could show me something. I was a bit hesitant...usually when he insists on an alley walk we come back to the apartment with couches or stereos or bicycles or....but instead of a fine looking chair, the boyfriend wanted to show me these huge whatsathingers.
Cucumbers growing in the sky? Watermelons? Notice! Notice that these strange whosits are being held up...otherwise they'd crash to the ground due to their girth. Or maybe not girth...but...erm...damn, they're heavy.
