Wasps are mean!  Mommy and I were outside playing today and a mean old wasp came over and stung me on my chest.  Can you believe that?  I was in my pool playing and wasn't even bothering it, but it had to pick on me anyway.  I started screaming so Mommy ran over and grabbed me then started running inside.  As we were running inside Mommy looked at the top of my head and the darn wasp was staring at her!  Of course she swished it away, but it still didn't make me feel better.  Once we got in side Daddy got the cornstarch so Mommy could make a paste and put it on the sting.  They're not sure exactly why it helps, but they think it could neutralize the venom.  All I know is that I started to feel better.  Then Daddy gave me some Ibuprofen to help with the swelling and stuff.  The upside to this is that I got to watch TV.  I don't get to do that much, so that was a plus...right?  After I went down for my nap, Mommy went out and killed all of the wasp nests under the deck.  She tried getting all of the wasps she could, but there was only one guarding each nest.  Mommy doesn't like to use poisons so she just used the hose to knock down the nests and then she smashed them with her foot.  She said that works well for the wasps too because when they're wet they can't fly.  Today she got rid of a total of 12 wasp nests of varying sizes.  2 were on the deck and 10 were under it!  Thank goodness she didn't get stung.  She decided that each morning or each night she's going to go around and check for wasp nests so that we don't get so many again.  Those 12 popped up pretty quick though, so she can't miss a day.  I just don't want to get stung ever again.
