Bzzzzzzzzz

Before yesterday, there were 4 childhood traumas I had managed to avoid:

1. broken bones
As a child I had a number of irrational fears so I stayed inside with my dolls and pillow forts.

2. chicken pox
Yes, I know the danger of getting the pox later on in life...I will get the shot someday

3. stranger danger
Who needs the candy in that man's car when I have some in my pocket?

4. bee stings
don't mess

WELL...
yesterday at work I was walking across the park when a little bugger stung me on the foot. I couldn't help but think, "so this is what it feels like..."
(Since I'm sure most of you know the feeling I won't describe the pain but It was exactly the way I imagined it would be.)
Luckily I work at a day camp and I had the necessary tools to deal with my injury.
And since I didn't cry my mommy gave me some icecream and took me to watch WallE! :)

Yeah, I'm a big kid. Jealous?

i once got stung by a wasp on my leg. that wasn't fun, but not as bad as everyone makes out. it could depend on your skin make-up, how sensitive you are to bites and stings ... mosquitos love me, but not others. i wish i could return the affection.

If you can make it through the summer without encountering the other three traumas than you may pat yourself on the back and proclaim victory!
