Legend has it that Cupid dipped his arrows in honey before aiming them at unsuspecting lovers. Cupid the Honey Thief, a watercolor by Albrecht Durer (1514), tells the story of Cupid who ran to his mother Venus, vainly trying to escape a swarm of bees whose honeycomb he had stolen. He has dropped his arrows and Venus laughs and says, "Are you not just like the bee- so little yet able to inflict such painful wounds?"

I had a wonderful holiday with my family and sons, and one of mine wounded my pride only a little with this ridiculous photo I didn't even realize he took.
