The Drama Queen and the Bee

Poor Maddie. Just minding her own business Saturday after we grabbed some hamburgers downtown. Of course we couldn't leave without hitting the Sno Cone stand. So there Maddie was, thoroughly engrossed in her strawberry Sno Cone, fatefully wearing a flower shirt and standing on a puddle of syrup swarmed by bees. When she let out one of her ear-piercing screams, we thought she might be just being dramatic, but the removal of not one but two stingers from her body proved otherwise. Poor Maddie. The whole way home she kept saying, "Take me to the hospital!" At least we know for Maddie, the redeeming part of injuries is attention, so the timing couldn't have been more perfect with church coming up. Here she is practicing modeling bee sting #1.



And re-enacting it. Quite convincing! (Sting #2 is on her back, but we think she forgot about it.)



Two days later she tells us it "still hurts!" so if you see her, prepare yourself for the cutest and saddest little story you've ever heard . :)
