Klaas, a brave 5 year old, attempted to venture past the 2 zucchini plants in the garden when one of the slipped up behind him, grabbed him and started stinging! That poor kid was stung nearly to death before our screams alerted us that something was wrong (other than his brother touching one of his toys). Catharine, instruct your father to go buy some Aveeno, throw Pat into the tub and let her soak. She's probably swollen to twice her normal size and is having problems getting her arm to bend enough to hold the phone to her ear. She's got the dreaded Zuke Swells. Liz
