Bee Sting

Yesterday Penny received her first bee sting. It was a honey bee that had somehow gotten into the house. She said, "Ow, Mommy something poked me." It swole up a little, but was completely gone in a hour and now you can't even tell where it was. I didn't even give her any medicine or anything. So, there were no lasting effects, but she was relentless last night asking me all about it. Why did the bee sting her?, she wanted to know. I told her because it thought she was about to squish it. She said, "But I wasn't going to squish it." I told her that I knew, but that's what the bee thought. Oh, but we must have gone 18 rounds with that line of questioning. She was totally offended that this bee had stung her.
