I noticed that you didn't say that he is not a
child?????????
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.
