Be 14 year old me left alone during summer break. Left alone with a ground hornets nest just outside the front door. Well, I'm enterprising so why wait until Dad gets home and can pour flaming motor oil down the hole? Ok, let's be honest, why should Dad have all the fun? But I'm also a responsible 14 year old and think better than employing flaming petrol products with no supervision. Next best thing? How about a garden hose? Surprisingly, was able to get a solid 3 feet of garden hose down the hole with no apparent reaction from the nest. Around the side of the house to turn on the water. Well, we have to see the product of our handywork, yes? It may have been smarter to just pop my head around the corner and recon the situation first but I chose to Be Bop around the corner normally only to come face-to-faces with a writhing hissing cloud of insectoid hatred. Turns out..they have better eyesight than you might imagine. Chase ensues. I was able to make it to the patio door and slam it shut just in time to avoid the body of the cloud of hate but one particularly fast little cocksucker did nail me on the ankle. Those bastards were slamming into the glass door for a solid 10 minutes. "Hey, sis...don't to outside, ok?" But I won. They were gone the next day. Nothing left but a muddy hole in the ground and a handful of dead soldiers.
