Just my luck!
June 3, 2008
Of all things a person could wake up to in the morning… I woke up to the piercing sting of this guy, right between my ring and pinky fingers. What f**ing luck!
Believe it or not, this isn’t the most random sting I’ve ever had… a few summers back I was stung in the EAR (not kidding!) while waiting for the subway inside of the Central Square T stop.
I think this might be Karma at it’s finest… long deserved (I’ll agree). Perhaps it all stems from introducing my little sister to her first bee… One time, when were kids, a giant bumblebee landed between us inside our wading pool. She had never seen one before and innocently asked, “what’s that?!” My response (deviously taking advantage of all the wisdom and cleverness of being the older sibling) was: ”Oh, it’s furry and nice, you should pet it”, while holding back a grin… and, as any trusting 4 year-old would, she did. Yes, it was one of many terrible deeds to come. That was her first bee sting… now years later, I’m getting mine!
