Today I have another old memory to share. Only this one has a little less angst. In fact it's pretty funny.

I believe I was around the age of ten when this took place. I was applying a coat of Turtle Wax to the car with my father one sunny and hot day. While we were working, a small number of honey bees started flying around us, around me mostly, which caused me some concern because I had been stung by a bee once before. They started flying closer and closer, little by little, and we continued waxing while trying to ignore them, until one started flying directly at me. Worse than that, it was going for my throat!

Obviously startled by this vicious, bloodthirsty insect, I quickly swatted it away and began to advance in the opposite direction. I was able to get away from the bees without any further incident, and my father did as well, but after thinking about it I realized the humor behind the situation I was in. A tiny little yellow and black insect, was going for my throat... Well, maybe you had to have been there to get it, but it was pretty funny. Dad and I still joke about it to this day.

In retrospect, the bee probably had no intention of attacking me at all. It and its kin simply liked the wax that we were using, more likely than not. Still though, I was panicked for a second, but we had a pretty good laugh about it afterwards, so this actually is a fond memory for me.
