I kind of thought that before I had a kid. It changes you somehow, and you learn you can tolerate more than you ever imagined possible.

My parents tried their hardest to get me to eat any melon aside from watermelon. They figured I was just being stubborn and picky and it took them several months and a few vomiting episodes to realize that melon actually makes me ill. I don't know why, don't know if there's an actual allergy to honeydew and cantelope, but to this day, whenever I eat it, my stomach almost immediately and violently rejects it.

I have similar problems with both cantaloupe and honeydew. Mostly what I find though is that eating it causes my mouth to break out in sores and my tongue to swell. I have the same problem with watermelon, though the effect is much milder. Bananas do the same thing, and almonds, before roasting, do it as well. I never really bothered to find out why it happens, though if I were sufficiently interested, I could probably figure it out, especially because after the almond is roasted, I have no problem.
