So, there was this wasp in my classroom two days ago. I think it snuck in through the air conditioner (that’s how I’d sneak in). I didn’t think much about it. I figured it would fly around awhile then leave.
Well yesterday it (or a very similar looking wasp) was still there. I saw it land on my monitor and I said, “Hello, wasp.” A few minutes later I leaned back in my chair, but the wasp was thinking the same thing. Well, before I could sting it, it stang me.
There were students in the room, so I didn’t say the first 12 things that popped into my mind. Instead, I said, “Did you guys see that wasp that was flying around in here?” After a few students had affirmed the existence of the wasp I followed up with, “Well it just stung me, and it really hurts. I mean ouch, wow. So if I pass out, someone write a pass for someone to go to the office to tell someone.”

Ack! Just reading about a wasp sting gives me the jibblies! If there is ever a wasp in my my classroom, I don’t take my eyes off of it until it either leaves or is dead.
Lauren says
Lloyd forgot to write about the smashing of it with a book. Twice. Once to kill it, once more to be a warning to all other wasps.
Karla says
I thought he did that because he learned from Zombieland that you always double-tap.
Christina says
Must be hard for the wasp to fly around all scrunched up like that!
Kristi says
I can see that everyone in the photo looks very concerned.
Peggy says
What?!? Wasps are out already?!? I don’t think so. I bet that was a zombie wasp….a zombie wasp that bit you! Ahhhhh!!
Don’t worry…as you begin to change, I’m sure you & Lauren will continue to be a great couple!!

I always want to click on the links you post…but I’m so afraid of Rick…
Lauren says
It is Rick-free, but not for the faint of stomach. 🙂
Peggy says
Really? I think it’s cute!
Lauren says
That’s why we like you the best, Peggy.

Too bad it wasn’t a bumblebee:

Lloyd says
I have also been stung by my share of bumblebees. I would take them any day of the week.
