What kind of stupid insect makes a nest in the ground?! Obviously that's where things walk be it people, deer or Bigfoot. Seriously.
This must have happened six something years ago on a family camping trip. My family loves to go out camping in the middle of no where, and by my family... I mean my parents. We go out where the rivers are so cold and crazy you get swept down at rapid speeds on a tiny, pink tube with a butt so numb you could be dropped twenty feet and not feel a thing. In these woods you are surrounded by wild life, the sounds of nature and absolutely zero cell service. If your vehicle breaks down... Good luck.
My family and I were spending a week in the boonies like usual and an incident happened that changed the way my family thinks of me. I'm not longer the brave older sister but a very mean sissy. My brother, who my mom and I guess was about 8 years old, and I were walking through the woods one day. We were going to join my dad while he fished. So here we are walking along and suddenly, Manny screams. A swarm of hornets covers him head to toe and I book it. Not like a casual run, but a roadrunner, cartoon, leave a dust trail, sprint out of the woods and straight into my tent kind of run. I then zipped up my tent and hollered, "Manny got stung."
To my holler my mom responded by running to the woods and stood there in the nest trying to dust the hornets off of my brother. Suddenly, my mom is left standing there alone, confused, because my brother has just disappeared. My dad had heard my holler and came running. He saw what my mom was doing and made the decision to grab my brother and exit the hornets nest before trying to dust bees off his sweater.
Turns out my brother is allergic to bees. His ankle swelled up to the size of a softball because his cowardly sister didn't think to grab him before she ran.
What are you scared of? I'm sure there's something that everyone would fly out of the woods and into a tent for.
Side note:
I'm probably not the person to ask if you need saving, especially if there are bees involved.
Peace out party peeps. Save lives, today. I'll be hiding from bees.
