When he was two, he was pretending to be a circus strongman, while playing outside. So he lifted up a cinderblock. Unbeknownst to him, wasps had constructed a small nest inside and a few came out and stung him on the ear.

The pain was so intense, he says it was the worst thing he’d ever felt in his young life, except for the pain that followed.

He ended up dropping that cinderblock on his bare foot, mashing his toes.
