i was bitten.

i was playing (well . . . torturing) a bee out on the balcony, and it BIT ME ! my mom found me under the bed (i was hiding, i knew something was not right) and she said my face looked like a baseball catchers mitt. she was hysterical and rushed me to the emergency room. my lips were swollen to 3 inches thick ! i was in pain and shock, but fine after a steroid shot and benadryl.

this is me after most of the swelling went down. my dad thought i looked like a camel.

they are wondering if i had learned my lesson. was the lesson that i should have bitten the bee before the bee bit me ?
