And.. now I'm back to square one

At the age of 4,I got stung on the top lip when I leant down to sniff a flower in my grandparents' garden - my grandmother had invited me to smell the nice aroma of a dahlia in bloom,without noticing that there was a bee in it.I wasn't too keen on bees for some time after that,but all good now - over 70 years later!

@craig7 That reminds me of an old joke.

Billy comes running into the house, crying. His mother asks what's wrong. He says, "I bent over to smell a brose!"

His mother said, "You mean rose. There's no b in rose."

"There was in this one!" cried Billy.
