Madder Than a Hornet

Jude, our little tough guy, doesn't get hurt. He just gets angry. Case in point--last night. We were all outside in the back yard putting all the junk back in our shed after a major clean fest (major mouse doo doo). Jude was playing all by himself with one of Daddy's golf clubs. All of a sudden, he started howling and yelling. He was making his angry noises. He was downright furious. He started spinning around and around with the golf club, trying to clobber something, we just weren't sure what.

Matt and I ran over to Jude to ask him what was wrong. He said, "Bee! Bee! Bee sting me!" We asked him where the bee had stung him. He pointed to his ear. Sure enough, I saw a couple of sting marks along the outside of his ear, probably from a wasp. Grace took Jude into the house to apply meat tenderizer. When I looked at Jude's ear about five minutes later, it was red and swollen to about twice its normal size. I gave Jude some Benedryl and then he went right back outside to play again. You just can't keep a tough man down.
