Lunch with Owen

We were out on the deck having lunch after church today.

"Do the bees that eat flowers, sting?"

"I don't know." Why do I always feel like there should be a college degree for parents? Who knows all these details?

"Those bees on the flowers...are they the ones that sting?"

"I thought all bees liked flowers, and I thought all bees can sting. But maybe I don't know enough about bees- I could be wrong."

"Yeah, because you're from Texas," he says, very innocently.

Who brainwashed my child? Obviously his brain has been frozen beyond normal capacity here in the great white north. I have some work to do.
