watermelon tattoo

I dreamt I was at a gathering. It seemed as if it was a bunch of neighbors or families. The nicey nice people with kids and wholesome lifestyles, faces, activities and so on. A gathering I might go to and appreciate the perfection and feel completely out of place in. I was there and hoping it would be over soon or that I would have an excuse to leave. I wondered around and then saw L, my friend's daughter. She was thirsty and so I volunteered to find a drink for her. This was the third best option to escaping, being busy with something where I had a purpose and/or didn't have to interact with the rest of the party. I picked her up and she was pouty. I had a attachment to her and so not only was this a distracting activity, I didn't mind doing it. We went into the kitchen and I was searching for glasses. I wanted to get her water, although I knew she wanted something sweet. Each time I thought I found a glass, it ended up being a bowl or much too large of a glass for her to use. As I was looking an old boyfriend from high school came in. He was with his daughter and fit in much better with the crowd. It was nice to see him though. He was going to help although at first I wanted to do this myself, I appreciated it as my hands were full and I wasn't having any luck finding a glass and L was getting fussier. I looked down at his arm. He had a tattoo on the inside of his forearm. It was really uncharacteristic of him, but I was excited because I just realized I had one too in the same place but the opposite arm. I looked at mine so I could tell him what it was. It looked like a square piece of watermelon rind, pink side up, with a black berry on top. It was in color and I had to look a couple of time to make sure that it was a black berry. I'm not sure what it meant or why I got it, but I was excited that we had something new in common.
