On the subject of the BB story attached to the Golden Egg entry - I actually remember a slight difference - and it makes it even stupider - the way I remember W saying that the BB got into his ear is that after all the rough housing they were sitting on the sofa and his friend had the bb in his hand - from under the sofa cushion I think. And W asked what are you going to do with it? I don't know. How about if I put it in your ear? W didn't believe he would, so when he just rolled it into the ear, W didn't try to stop him. Problem was, W had stickey ear wax and it wouldn't roll back out. Then he was to embarassed to say anything about it til the doctor asked.
We may have heard different versions. Sometimes that happens. Maybe we should ask him?

So how long was it in there for? Did anyone think of trying a magnet to pull it out?

well, we might have if we'd known

[SolemnDragon]

i have no idea. mum, i'm betting your story is the accurate one, because that sure sounds like Our Dear Boy.

s

how old was W at the time?

It totally sounds like the kind of trouble my brothers and I got into when we were young.

My brother once found an odd bump on his arm - they went to the doctors, and found out that it was a piece of a grape arbor stuck in there. From eight years before. So it had calcified and grown ligaments to the muscle and everything. The doctors took it out, and my brother keeps it in a small ceramic box.

Does he know about Qtips?

My favorite thing about Qtips is that it says on the box not to stick them in your ear... I'm trying to figure out exactly what anyone else would use them for...

Well, I don't know about you, but I dip them into kerosene and light them, to be used as little mini-torches for my Playmobil figurines when re-enacting Frankenstein in miniature. Just like most people do with them -- what's with you? *rolls eyes*

Cheers,

FREAK! Why would you use kerosene when rubbing alcohol works so much better? And a word to the wise, don't ever light them if you've used them to clean your ears... you'll never get that burnt ear wax smell out of the house.
