STUMBLE BEE

He calls them “stumble bees.” We’re still not quite sure why he calls them “stumble” bees, but he’s convinced that’s what they are. He can say bumble be so I don’t think he’s mixing up bumble and stumble. He has some reason for calling them stumble bees and we don’t argue (LOL). Now we all call them stumble bees (LOL).

POOR guy, that’s awful! I don’t think I’ve been stung 6 times total in my entire life!

Both of my kids called headaches “head ichs” for several years. We thought it was the perfect name, lol.
