She knows that I strive to be childlike.

I left out an important paragraph and have changed the subject line  
accordingly.

The sting was fully my fault. Instead of going to the garage and  
getting a piece of wood to smash the scorpion, I picked up a piece of  
eucalyptus bark and used that. My mistake was using it crosswise,  
which left the stinger enough room to come over the top of the bark.  
Had I been more careful I would have squished her with the bark long- 
wise to the body, thereby covering the stinger.
