This morning while waiting for the bus, the kids and I were watching bees on the rhododendrons.
There was one bee in particular that seemed to be having a little trouble. He was trying to walk on the flowers and kept falling off and flying all wonky. When he fell off and landed on his back son #1 said “Mom? What the heck is wrong with that bee?” Reminiscent of Calvin’s Dad,
I replied “I think it’s drunk. It’s been up partying all night with the other bees. They were bar hopping until after midnight. He shouldn’t be flying. This is what happens when you drink and fly. You see how he can’t even stand up or walk straight? He’s totally wasted. He has probably been sniffing the roses too…..Hey! Where are you going?” And he rolled his eyes at me and walked away.
What? Was it something I said?

Haha drunk bees! At my college we had a problem with drunk squirels…yes i repeat drunk squirels, they were eating fruit that had fermented and turned a little alchohalic. They would eat the fruit and then they couldnt walk straight, or climb trees! It was quite amusing, I think Son #1 (my kindred spirit) would have apreciated it!
What ADD medication is he on by the way? I am on concerta 18mg twice a day right now…its my miracle drug, though i think they need to up the dosage a bit.

Bees really do get “drunk” on all the nectar. Nectar can actually ferment into alcohol, and alcohol affects bees the same way it affects humans. Seriously. So you were right.

That was a great answer!
I believe that sleight of hand is one of the keys to parenting and as they get older, you’ve got to come up with better and better answers!
Your answer is even supported in print media; that particular media is well read by the kids in my house, so it must have some credibility.

Shana- GET OUT!
Beau- It’s the only way to survive parenthood.
Greenbean- LMAO @ bow chicka bow wow!

The Seattle gays are NOT the SF gays. They haven’t gotten the memo on dress code. Sigh.
