WASP ATTACK!!!

And we were having such a GREAT Morning...

To fully understand what a complete catastrophe this is there are a few things you need to know...

Over the last year or so Lily has changed her mind serveral times about what she is scared about. First it was spotted elephants (I don't know where it came from!!), then it was owls (kinda understandable), and now for the last 3 or 4 months it has been stinging bugs (as she likes to call them) i.e. bees, wasps, hornets, etc.... Well since it is winter Adam and I have kept her pacified by telling her that all the stinging bugs are sleeping for the winter and there is no reason for her to be scared. We also tell her that even if they were out and about they would not sting her unless she bothered them...if she left them alone they would leave her alone. Well, I guess one of the little bugers (a wasp) decided to sneak in the house out of the snow. It was on the floor (you know they don't fly when they've just woke up), and Lily sat down and her leg hit it. It stung her!!! Now you tell me, what are the chances of that ACTUALLY happening. I have NEVER seen her so petrified!! She jumped up screaming and ran and hid under the covers on her bed (still screaming). I killed it and threw it away. But it was like pulling teeth to get her to just poke her head out of the covers. You talk about feeling like a terrible parent...I have never felt so bad. And, of course, her saying (over and over)(and over and over) "You told me they would sting me""You said they were sleeping""Why did you let that wasp get in the house" etc.... Poor little girl. I think she is better now, she is eating lunch, anyway. I really hope she forgives and forgets soon!!!!!
