Have you ever been stung by a human? I know that’s a weird question, but I’m pretty sure I was stung once. By my step-sister!
Just a little background. She was 18 when we met and difficult for me to understand, even though I was just a few years older. She alternated between flirting and acting as if we had grown up together as brother and sister. The latter was okay, the flirting was weird. I never reacted to the flirting one way or the other. I just acted as if she had said nothing. My brothers blushed and laughed and that egged her on. Over time I realized that she needed attention from men…any man, even my dad if he was the only guy around (yuk!). I don’t mean she liked it, I mean she needed it! Strangers, family, didn’t matter. I felt bad for her about that.
We are not friends, but we’re friendly when we’re in the same place—always as members of large gatherings. Except once. About 7 months after my dad passed away my step-mother asked my wife and me to visit to help her go through his things and sort out what she wanted to keep, give to charity or toss out. My wife helped her while I took care of some details on dad’s estate in the morning and then the 3 of us worked on it in the afternoon. We took her and her daughter out to dinner that evening and then sat and talked for a while back at her condo.
When it was time for us to leave we started exchanging half-hugs to say goodbye. When my step-sister got to me I could see that instead of the standard fake kiss on the cheek, she was zeroing for a kiss on the lips. My reflexes were good. I turned my head to the left so quickly and so hard she ended up planting a kiss just below my right ear. When she did that it felt like I had been stung by a bee!!! We got out of there quickly after that. On the way to the car I told my wife about the sting and she laughed—thinking I was joking. We stopped at a convenience store on our way to the hotel and in the light my wife could see that my neck was red and splotchy just below my right ear—and it looked like there was a prick in the skin.
I washed the spot as soon as we got to the hotel—I could see a puncture in the skin. I turned to my wife and said, “OMG, she bit me…now I’m going to live forever!!!” Well, I seem to be continuing to age and I didn’t develop a lust for blood (or attention from strange men), so there seems to be no long-term side-effect from the sting.
Does anyone know what she did to me—or how she did it? How does a human “sting” someone???
haha.
ReplyDeletethat's kinda funny.
i never heard about human sting or whatever,
thats the first..
nice story anyway.
i wonder what happened to that sisters of yours(or step sister should i say..)
maybe she was poisoned by your blood..
haha.
just kidding:)
lol @ the sting haha... maybe she just shocked (i.e. static) you?
ReplyDelete<3
hahaha. that was weird. I'm with LoLanne it might have been static or something. I have a lot of static energy surging through me. Sometimes when I give someone a handshake, pat, or anything touchy they jump back from the static I transmitted. And yes, even when I kiss my boyfriend at times I transmit static. Lols... "electrifying kiss" is what he calls it. lols
ReplyDeletethats certainly wierd :0 I have no idea how could she stung you hahaha... did you check whether she ended up with oversize lips that night??LOLZ this kind of thing makes you wonder for a long time :p
ReplyDelete@ambiguous_angel: Haha! Maybe she's the one that's going to live forever. =)
ReplyDelete@LOLanne: Maybe, but it burned and my skin was red afterwords. Maybe I'm allergic to her...lipstick! LOL
@ChinkyGirLMeL: BF is right, that's not static. That's a different type of electricity--Mel-icity!!!
@acutelife: Haha...I don't think I've seen her since then. My wife jokes about what might have happened if I had not turned my head and had taken the sting on my lips. LOL
Could she have had a sharp tongue piercing? It definitely burned!!! {shiver}
wahahhaha stung?! by another human being?! that's really strange... and uh... freaky I must say! :P
ReplyDeletewow... how did my post make you think about this?! hahahah...
loves
she's a weirdo. whoever would want to kiss her own stepbrother? even if my stepbrother happens to be edward norton....
ReplyDeletebut if that's the case, i'd do my very best to break our parents up, even before they get the chance to get to know each other. bahahahah *evil laugh* bahahahah.
wait, what's the point again?
@Toothfairy: Your post was "my stepmother is an alien" and ever since I got stung I have wondered what my stepsister is!!! hehe~ It was a very creepy experience.
ReplyDelete@the girl in stiletto: Haha, that mixed up girl just wants to kiss every man. I like your evil laugh, I could have used your help keeping my dad from making that mistake. He was miserable after the wedding--9 months later he wanted to live in my brother's garage.
Your comment about returning your leather coat seriously made me laugh out loud! LOL Pretty funny and the fact that you returned it to the same sales lade made it even more hilarious!
ReplyDelete& yeah, when I was reading about the potato bugs online, all the websites kept saying that they were little, but dang, what I saw was not! For sure you would be up on the couch & idk.. duty or not, you probably would've stayed up on the couch! LOL
hahaha "human sting"... I would have to say that's not one I've heard about before, but I am glad to hear that you are alright :]
ReplyDeletethanks for coming by and visiting! your blog is also a great read and I will be definitely dropping by again~
Cubic Zirconia is not a diamond (Although in American it's falsely been named american diamond, for marketing purposes I guess) :) It is one of diamond stimulant or imitation. As for the price it's very cheap too :) but the lifespan is very quick if you wear it everyday ^^ but yeah, it could be an alternative if you only look for an everyday jewelry ^^shoot me a question anytime!
ReplyDelete@Dana Yoshimizu: The sales lady didn't see the humor in it, I'm glad you did! =)
ReplyDelete@- kimmy -: I worried it was too weird to share--it just sounds crazy. Oh, I saw the post about your chivalrous friend...that was really encouraging to read.
@acutelife: Thank you!
