well, that's one way to get a kid to be afraid of bees.
Poor kid. hope she never got stung? doesn't sound like she did.
In elementary school, our gym got infested by bees or wasps (don't remember exactly) and they were everywhere. We still were forced to do sports class in there. I got stung twice and then ran outside, bawling my eyes out. I'm now in my 30s and have a severe phobia of bees, wasps and hornets. Bumblebees are fine though for some reason.
My parents forced me to play outside when I was very young, and I didn’t want to. Stepped on what’s probably a mud wasp nest, and two wasps circled my leg and stung me a bunch. I cried a lot.
Anything yellow and black bug near me makes me MAD DASH AWAY. I got made fun of for a long time, “oh they won’t hurt you, just ignore them”
Like motherfucker I CANNOT IGNORE THEM YOU TWAT
I love fluffy bumblebees though. I still panic before I confirm fluff.
Oh yeah I got hit with this a lot. But I have empiric evidence of the contrary right in my memory! D:
