    Using a riding lawnmower as a kid was how I found out that some bees lived in the ground. My face was so swollen due to all of the stings.

    To top it off my uncle had disabled the safety switch that turns the mower off when you stand up so that stupid thing just kept going as I ran to the house. Stupid kid me ran back to the mower to turn it off which meant I got stung even more!

      I had a story like this, but funnier ……

      At one point when we were kids, we were grounded for whatever reason and really really wanted to go play in the woods behind our house.

      • the four of us snuck out the basement door
      • one at a time, sprint to cover behind the pool
      • then one at a time mad dash from the pool to cover in the woods.

      I made it first and ducked behind the compost pile for cover. Apparently I woke the hive

      My little brother almost made it but stopped short and started swatting at his pants

      My other younger brother started screaming and ran off toward the house.

      Yeah, my older brother and I were the little shits laughing at our brothers’ pain
