Burt's Bees

For those of you who have tried Burt's Bees, you know that it is addicting- especially this time of year when your lips begin to get that chapped feeling. I know for me, I keep my Burt's close by and use it multiple times throughout the day.
I remember my first time using it. A couple of my friend's swore up and down that it was so much better than Chap Stick. I didn't know if I could convert. But, I tried it. At first I thought it was a little weird, tingly, but yet at the same time, refreshing. So, I continued and now I'm hooked.
Last night I was sitting on the couch watching TV while Hunter was playing tractors at the kitchen table. Then Hunter walked into the living room with this strange look on his face. It was the look of Mom, I did something wrong by the slight smirk on his face but also mixed with the look that something was not right and he needed help. I asked him what was wrong instantly. I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, he wasn't upset or crying, but I knew this wasn't a typical Hunter expression. Unless of course he did something he wasn't supposed to do.
He told me his lips felt really weird. And he kept licking them. Hmm...weird I thought. Then he said, "Yea, and I'm pretty sure a bee stung my tongue because it doesn't feel right. It feels like the bee is still in there stinging my tongue. Not hard, but just a little bit. It's kind of poking me. I think I'm allergic to bees." The lightbulb went off in my head! I asked him if he used my chapstick, and he nodded. We walked over to the island in the kitchen and sure enough there was my Burt's Bees with the cap off.
My guess is he put a fair amount on his lips because there is now a slight indentation from him and he asked if we could go to the bathroom and wash it off. I guess this is a lesson learned on his part not to use other people's things without asking.
