Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Like stockings, all the way up to my pelvis. Wow, wow. So immediately you get the shock of a nettle sting. In my mind, I think I landed on something that's gone into my foot. It's just shooting pain. I come out of the water screaming. Probably says something about the kind of kid I was that no one immediately looked for what's wrong with Kyle, but I start swimming into the shore as fast as I can.

Somewhere, In the swim, I realized what must have happened. So it feels like there was a bunch of hair gel in my bathing suit. And I just take it off so that I can get away from the nettle. And then I'm high step running out of the water with 25 people around, including two very cute neighbor girls who I had been talking to throughout the summer.

Totally off. 12-year-old Hynie just running towards the house. My papa had put in like a shower stall. So I run into there. I lock it. I'm just crying, hiding, embarrassed. And I'm trying to rip off these nettles that are wrapped around my leg. Everything else you can imagine below the belly button.

Will you explain nettles just a little bit? Because I'm not familiar with that term.

Think jellyfish. Think like Finding Nemo, those sort of jellyfish. These are called steaming nettles there. It is what you imagine. Tentacles with the barbs that stick and sting.
