Today, I don't remember what I did. I know I worked while my family went to Kailua beach.

The last time we went to Kailua Beach, my niece got stung by a jellyfish. The northern shores are known for having more jellyfish wash up. When she was stung, she screamed bloody murder, and nothing could stop her crying.

This guy ended up coming to us and asked if she got stung. You could tell by his accent and tattoos that he was local and frequented the area. He offered to spray her sting with vinegar, which apparently works. He shared his own experiences with his kids.

I ended up telling my niece the story of Clever Manka to distract her from the pain, and it worked.
