There's something about Drew. I can't put my finger on it, there's just something.
He can never hear me. Sure this is typical of marriage but still. About a month ago he went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a massive inner ear infection, took antibiotics and felt better- but not right on.
Things got worse. He had coughing fits and couldn't hear us at all. By now we were yelling at him to be heard.
He decided to clean out his ears in the shower. He cleaned and squirted away, and look what fell out.
I think it's an orange seed. There's just something about Drew.
first!
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHA!!
ReplyDeleteDid he know that it's not really true that babies come from a seed?
I mean, sure, a certain type of seed but not an orange seed?
When you need to explain the facts of life to Lean, I would not let Drew be in charge.
ReplyDeleteHow did it get in there? Did he have an itch? Were you guys throwing stuff at him while he slept? What? I need to know!
ReplyDeletehe has no idea how it got in there and the doctor had looked in his ears so WTF??
ReplyDeletemaybe it was left from childhood, it looked pretty old
I've heard of ringing in the ears, but not pips.
ReplyDeleteEvery so often I have to put hydrogen peroxide urea in mine to melt all the wax - I never thought of putting fertiliser in to see if anything would grow...
Maybe Don has that same problem!
ReplyDeleteSo can he hear now?
ReplyDeleteYou know, Emma has always been wierd about letting me clean her ears. So, when it came time to have her tonsils taken out, I asked the doctor to clean her ears while she was under so that I knew she would atleast for once in her life have clean ears.
ReplyDeleteWhen the surgery was over and he came out to talk to us, he told us that while cleaning her right ear, they pulled out a piece of pencil lead that was 3/4 of an inch long! We couldn't believe it.
When we got to go see her, we told her what the doctor found and we asked if she knew how it could have gotten in there and even in her groggy, drugged up state, with a sore throat, she managed to squeak out "I don't know but I bet Caroline did it!"
I can't believe the doctors didn't see that when they looked into his ears! I would cry malpractice!
Lisa he can hear now.
ReplyDeleteMy gosh Tracy, we probably all have some sort of weird objects in our ears. I hope a Cadbury mini egg doesn't fall out of mine.
ReplyDeleteha ha on her blaming the sis
Drew should have gone to a Japanese ear-picker...
ReplyDeletewow, I bet he would have chosen the strawberry one.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I live here
I would never have a seed fall out of my ear. I don't eat such healthy things like fruit. An M&M might be more likely to fall out. I have been known (with pictures to prove it) to shove green peanut M&M's up my nose. Kinda gross huh?
ReplyDeleteMaybe that is what's wrong with my hubby. He sure seems to have a difficult time hearing me:(
hey, maybe that is why i can't hear too well out of my left ear. i stuck a seed in there a long time ago and forgot about it.
ReplyDeleteDi, go ahead and clean your hubs ears out-it is apparently very romantic (click on Brian's link thing)
ReplyDeleteand just think Aubrey, if it's been more than 20 years it is now considered vintage!
ReplyDeleteyay vintage ear seeds, go!
so, does that mean i could sell it on ebay if i convince people that it is in the shape of the virgin mary's head?
ReplyDeleteabsolutely. or you could carve a picture into it and sell it on etsy
ReplyDeleteThat's not how you're supposed to eat oranges.
ReplyDeleteIs it?!?
Brian's link:
ReplyDelete"In Japan, cleaning your man’s ears is a time-honored tradition, a romantic act signifying intimacy."
uh.
so true. someone could make a necklace out of it. or earrings. it could be the new rage..earwax covered seed beads.
ReplyDeleteand blech on the intimacy of cleaning out my man's ears. no, thank you.
ReplyDeletethat's right girls, that's why I'm glad I'm not Japanese
ReplyDeleteWow, that's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I'm sure you or one of your multiple personalities stuck it in there.
Wow! How do you explain that to the children that you have told to not put anything in their ears or nose?
ReplyDeleteThey'll probably laugh so hard they won't hear anyway!!! LOL
EEEK! That reminds me of that kid a few years back who had a big spider living in his ear.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh---are you serious??? LOL That's so weird!
ReplyDeleteSmiles, Karen
I did watch a show that had a woman with a june bug in her ear. That was so creepy watching her freak out as it tried to get out. Ick.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so where's Wordless Wednesday???
ReplyDeleteWORD. LESS. WED. NESDAY.
ReplyDeleteJean Knee! Don't hog the My Little Ponies!
ReplyDeleteLet Lean have a go whilst you do your post...
I had one hour to myself today, read about it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat Japanese article is crazy! Although I do tease my husband on occasion that sticking a Q-tip in my ear is better than sex! I'm only kidding!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't EVER find romance in picking his ears though but I sure would like to try one of those Japanese pickers:) I am weird like that.
You just let the whole world know that your husband is seedy.
ReplyDeleteAAARGHH!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awful. Especially all the comments people are making about THINGS LIVING IN YOUR EARS....AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Do you remember that Star Trek movie...um...Wrath of Khan? Where at the very beginning there was a...slug-like critter inserted into the ear? (that's ALL I watched of that movie thankyouverymuch)
AAACCCKK. I need to go wash my ears out right now.
ReplyDeleteAnd then stuff a lil' cotton in and tape them shut.
ReplyDeleteThere are FAR WORSE things than not being able to hear, after all. Like having an INSECT LIVING IN YOUR EAR.
ReplyDeleteWhat if it isn't an orange pip? What if it is an egg sac for a parasite that eats BRAINS?
ReplyDeleteThis post has seriously gotten under my skin (or in my ears, as it were) EWWW.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. This is strange! Does he use Oranges as cologne???
ReplyDeleteDoes he "hear" you better know!!!?
I do hope he is ok now!
With Kindness,
Mary
