The Nettles Are Growing!
Eeek! Dan noticed his nettles were growing so fast that he needed to do a little pruning. That meant he finally had an excuse to pull out a few of them for experimentation. Let me just say now that while I’m not always a fan of experimentation when I’m the guinea pig, I try to be a good sport. I never know when something new and scary might become my favorite new obsession.
Dan picked a small sprig and lightly rubbed the length of it along the back of my hand. I was surprised by how quickly it began to sting and how much sting there was to it. Yeah, I know, they’re called “stinging” nettles, but I wasn’t expecting that much sensation!
After just a little while, besides the increasing sting I noticed little bumps developing. That’s when I began to squawk and complain. I wanted Dan to make the stinging stop but there wasn’t anything he could do about it. I was not a happy camper. But at least Dan got a chuckle out of it.
I wish I could say I loved the nettles so much that I can’t wait until they’re full grown and ready for action…but I’m still trying to decide. I’ve been wondering if used in the middle of a play session I might have a different impression of the nettles. Supposedly the plan is to use them on my bottom and maybe on my boobies. Maybe. I just never know how my body is going to react.
This may be one of those plans that you just have to put into acting in order to really know for sure. I may have to just let Dan try.
I can’t believe I just typed that. Eeek!
I feel your pain! I’ve grown up in the South and stinging nettles are about as common as sunshine! As a kid, I and everyone I knew, ran into their fair share of nettles…and they get even worse when they mature. Good luck and happy nettles!
Any more testing with the nettles? I’ve always been sooooooo curious about them!
Did the bumps and stinging last long?
