Bees Full Of Kryptonite
(I work for a kids camp at a college. We are the typical rich kids camp, so we get a lot of stress from parents throughout the whole summer. But some parents just leave us with gem-like stories.)
Me: “Okay. Does your child have any allergies that we should be aware of?”
Mom: “Nope! Our little boy is like Superman! Nothing can hurt him!”
Dad: *stays quiet*
Me: “All right, then! I’ve got everything I need. I think you are good to go! Have a nice day.”
Mom: “Thanks!” *phone rings* “Oh. I’ll meet you guys outside. I have to take this.” *runs outside*
Dad: *to me* “Um… Can you actually wait a second?”
Me: “Yes?”
Dad: “My son is actually allergic to bee stings.”
Me: “Wait, seriously? How come she said he was ‘Superman’?”
Son: “She thinks it’s a ‘flaw’ and is embarrassed about it.”
Me: “Oh… well, no worries, man. I won’t tell anyone, but make sure you have your medicine with you.”
Dad & Son: “Thanks!” *leaves*
Coworker: “Wait… if she doesn’t like to admit he has an allergy, then how did they get medicine?”
Me: “I’m either gonna say in secret or the black market.”
