Our oldest grandson is living with us while serving his MD internship at our local hospital. Saturday night, our youngest grandson (four years old) spent the night with us. We were watching a movie and eating popcorn. I asked a question of him. He said he couldn’t hear me. I asked “why not?” His response was, “It might be because of the popcorn in my ear.” (Who can possibly understand a four-year old mindset?) Eldest grandson(who just returned from a long shift in ER) got a Q-Tip from my bathroom, put some “Gorilla Glue” on the end of it, put it in his cousin’s ear, and popped the kernel right out.
It’s really handy having a Dr. in house....and thank God for Gorilla Glue.
“His response was, ‘It might be because of the popcorn in my ear.’”
That’s really funny. Four-year-old logic.
My friend’s son, about five years old, was beginning to behave badly, ignoring people, etc., and because of that was diagnosed as gradually becoming deaf. Turns out he had beans in his ears, coated with wax. Nobody knows for how long. Remove beans. Instand miracle!
