Disaster, Narrowly Avoided (November 1998)

I was bringing in our Halloween wind sock from the balcony outside of Jolee's room this morning, as Melanie dressed her for school, when, in the process of folding it up, the Yellow Jacket inside of it stung my hand. Aside from repeating my exclamation of displeasure at such a rude start to my day, Jolee was finally dissuaded from bringing the insect, trapped under a glass, to school for show and tell. Instead, she settled for her D.W. doll (from the cartoon ARTHUR).

Fortunately for me, I finally discovered that I am not allergic to bee-stings.

Have a great weekend.
