A Funny Thing Happened on my way to the Mailbox

As I am taking out the trash and getting the mail last night and came back into the house, I had this sensation that the tag in my bra was poking me. Ladies, you can relate, it happens all the time. So I come back into the house and had to go to the bathroom pretty bad. I left the kids eating yogurt and watching cartoons while I run to the bathroom. As I am sitting there I notice the tag of my bra is really bugging me to so go to grab it, only I'm thinking "isn't this a tagless bra" and then it hits me, it's not a tag, it's a wasp! Fortunately I squished the little sucker in my shirt before it fell out and I still cannot believe it didn't sting me. Still freaked me out. The little hitchhiker must have flown up my shirt while I was out getting taking the garbage to the curb or getting the mail. . . who knows.

I know this has got to be some sort of bizarre karmic payback for laughing at my mother all those years ago when she found her own hitchhiker, which was a Japanese Beetle, in her pants, unfortunately for her it "pinched/bit" her.

Note to self, "don't laugh at your mother".

ACK!! I am absolutely terrified of all stinging insects - most escpecially wasps and hornets and probably would have scared myself right into a heartattack. I had a similar thing happen once - I was DRIVING with my baby in the car and realized that the shirt I threw on after being at the pool all day had a huge bumblebee in it - I threw the car into park - in the middle of the road, jumped out - pulled off the shirt (again, middle of the road here) and went berserk - it was so bad I scared the heck out of baby Sydney and she freaked out, crying "mommy! mommy!" - sigh- I'm sure it was comical to all the drivers passing by.

And now I'm all itchy!!

Oh Lord... if that had happened to me, I'd still be in a coma, with the mail in my hand. I hate wasps. Or bees. and flies... pretty much anything winged and/or annoying. :)
