Don't Leave Me This Way

H got stung by a bee yesterday - three times. As if it weren't enough that C's afraid of coyotes in the back yard, now he's got bees to worry about as well.
The worst part was when I brought H inside and the bee was still in his clothes, so I inadvertently released it in the house.
Just about this time my mother showed up.
"H was stung by a bee which is now loose in the house," I told her. "I'm going to work. Have a good afternoon."
And then I fled.
