I was 7 or 8 and Jordan L was over at my house. There was a bee hive in the back yard. I bet you know where this is going. Jordan thought it would be a great idea to throw rocks at the hive. It broke, the bees swarmed. Luckily I ran into the house before I could get stung. Jordan wasn’t so lucky. I learned that day about putting toothpaste on bee stings.

The most scaring part of the incident was looking out the window watching my cat Mittens get stung over and over again and there wasn’t anything I could do about it because opening the door would let the swarm into the house.
