Things That I Learned When My Family Was Visiting (Part 1)
That I'm NOT allergic to bee stings!
I've never been stung by a bee in my life. On Thursday evening, I attended a ribbon cutting for a new local business, Parker Pedicab. Mr. Pedicab, Mark Lane and his lovely wife, Tia provided pulled pork sandwiches, cole slaw, macaroni salad, chips and cookies for dessert. Of course I had a pulled pork sandwich (with coleslaw ON the sandwich-yum!)
I took my sandwich and sat down with some folks that I didn't know (the whole point of a networking/ribbon cutting event, right?) While we were eating, several bees were buzzing around us. The gal I was sitting next to told me that one time she ate a bee because it flew in to her bottle of Sassparilla and she couldn't see it. (Sassparilla for those who don't know is something like root beer or birch beer and generally comes in a brown bottle, so you can't see through it.)
Not 5 minutes after I heard that story, my tongue felt funny. Yup, you guessed it. I ate a bee too, but this one stung my tongue on the way down. How do I know, you might ask. I found the stinger in my tongue. It swelled (not much) and I was talking funny (not really, but I was pretending). A vanilla milk shake from Baskin Robbins that my sister bought for me, made it feel much better.
I thought about sharing the photo of my swollen tongue that my sister took, then decided you didn't really want to see the inside of my mouth.
