A wild thing happened today

I was out with friends and their 6-month-old baby, and we drove to a park to go for a walk. As we were getting ready to leave the car my friend is suddenly like "Oh my god there's a bee in the car right near the baby!"

And I'm like, oh, I'm not afraid of bees. I'll deal with this

So I get out and open the door next to the baby's car seat, and my friend points out the insect in question.

That is not a bee. That is a wasp.

But, you know, in for a penny, in for a pound

So I put my hand in front of where the wasp is crawling and, without thinking, I start talking to it like

"C'mere buddy, climb up on my finger, I'm not gonna hurt you"

And it fucking DID

It CLIMBED ONTO MY FINGER

I slowly backed away from the car and the wasp flew off outside harmlessly and as it did I got the hugest adrenaline rush because

I AM FUCKING ALLERGIC TO WASPS WHAT THE FUCK WAS I DOING

#the wasp was super chill and not aggressive at all THANK GOD #but understandably my friend didn't want a stinging insect near her baby when we have no way of knowing if the kid has allergies or whatev #and even if there's no allergy you don't want your baby to be stung!!! because ow!!!#poor thing is going through teething she doesn't need more pain on top of that #anyway. another step in my journey of trying to be less afraid of bugs #i was downright giddy after #btw my allergy is not deadly but i get a lot of swelling/adema and it is extremely unpleasant #i guess if i was stabbed in the face or throat i might die? but that was unlikely in this situation #still! pretty scary!!#and pretty cool that the wasp was chill and was like 'oh is this how i leave the car? thanks i was lost' ykwim #mod post #bugs #insects #wasps #i am still a little scared of them TuT
