" When I was 6 I was riding my bike and a bee was chasing me. I ended up ditching my bike in the middle of the road in front of a random house. A guy came out and helped me by swatting the bee away and getting me back on my bike.
His daughter came out to observe and we introduced ourselves and became good friends. When I was 8 I moved away and only saw her 1 other time over the next 10 years. When I turned 18 I got my driver's license and decided I was going to see if she still lived in the same house. Drove an hour and it turns out she did still live there. For those of you thinking that we got married and lived happily ever after - nope.
We did end up hitting it off and I was head over heels in love with her. She moved 3 hours away to Chicago for college, so I applied to college in Chicago and moved with her. Spent 1 semester there before I ran out of money. Ended up joining the Navy to support us, but once I got out of boot camp she decided that she wanted to stay in Chicago and a month later it was too difficult for us to have a long distance relationship.
Fast forward 6 years, I get stationed in Washington state, meet the girl of my dreams, ACTUALLY understand what it means to fall head over heels in love with somebody. Married for going on 9 years now, 2 kids, awesome life.
I never would have met my wife if I didn't join the Navy. I never would have joined the Navy if I didn't move to Chicago and go broke. Never would have went to Chicago if it wasn't for the girl. Never would have met that girl if it wasn't for the bee that chased me off my bike.
I ***kin love bees."
