The woman seating us at brunch today asked if my armband animals were bees or wasps. "Bees," I replied. She mentioned something about them hurting or being afraid, and my husband said, "No, she's an entomologist. She likes them." She seemed perplexed and asked if I'd ever been stung. "Yes." She looked even more puzzled. She couldn't seem to disconnect the tattoo from the sting.
