In the last few days we’ve killed about 3 wasps in our house. Wasps, not bees. Their sting is much worse, or so I’ve heard, but I’m not wanting to find out first hand. I’m not scared of bees at all but for some reason, wasps, hornets or yellow jackets seem way angrier and scarier.
My girls sense this too and become frantic at the sight of a bee or wasp. Thelma and Louise are the ones who have been spotting these wasps in the house and then Jane-the-Wasp Killer has to get out her pink-foot swatter and come to the rescue! I’m like Mr. Miagi only I have a swatter and it only takes one attempt for me to knock this insect out of existence. I hope PETA doesn’t come after me for animal cruelty.
I’m with PETA on the fur thing though. One should not adorn ourselves with the fur of these innocent, cute little animals for the enjoyment of making a fashion statement. For some reason, I am not as affected when it comes to leather but it’s because the animals that are used for leather aren’t treated as cruelly when they are killed compared to the many cute little furry-things who are beaten to death with bats.
Anyway, the girls are on a hunt to find the wasp nest, which they believe is somewhere in my house. They may be right cause I have no idea how the three that just met their death flew into my house. But, Thelma and Louise are fearing the painful stinging of a wasp so they try to cover EVERY bit of visible skin with clothes, leg warmers, long socks, jackets, scarves, and hats…leaving just their faces exposed. You would think they were going outside in the freezing winter cold rather than using all those items as an armor shield against the sting of a wasp.
Check out Louise’s socks. I found these great SOCKS a few years back and gave them to Lucy Lu as a prank present for Christmas one year. They are indeed SOCKS but have individual slots for the toes, like gloves. I guess Louise could only find one and had a bit of trouble getting her toes in each finger. LOL
Armed with my little emergency flashlights, they are on the hunt for the wasp nest!
And, they’re off!
If the room is lit, they turn off the lights so they can make use of the flashlights.
Loving the “investigative” search, Thelma and Louise are going room by room.
In the end, they looked HIGH and LOW but came up with nothing.
Their final guess it that it’s behind the walls with holes where the water heater sits.
“My dear Watson, I do believe it is very likely the wasps could be behind this wall!”
“I think you may be right Holmes, only we can’t open it to find out!”
”No, we’re not going to be able to get back there!”
After searching all over the house, Louise starts to get hot from all the layers of clothes.
“I’m hot!”
(Louise)
“NO Louise! NO! Don’t take it off! My friend was stung by a wasp and she said it’s the worst! You don’t want to be stung!”
(Thelma)
At this point, Louise is on fire and doesn’t care so she changes out of the masses of clothes she has put on. The investigative search for the wasp nest has come to a screeching halt and remains unsolved.
