I'm so Proud! Dr said she had never before extracted so many random objects from a child's ear ...

She was extremely nice about it and ds says he can hear much better now! He had a collection of 4 different things in his ears. Anyone want to have a guess at what they were?

DS2 - one of those Geomag balls up his nose. DH, with impressive (and unusual) speed and initiative, used a Geomag stick to magnetically retrieve it.

You must be very proud

My dear father, in his mid 40s once got the small rubber on the end of a propelling pencil stuck in his ear. Luckily he worked in a hospital so just popped downstairs to A&E to get it removed. Not so luckily he was the Senior Finance Director so should have known better

I said to him - ds, if you don't like the pumpkin seeds then put them on the side of your plate in future, not in your earhole darling.

He had a phase of keeping things in his foreskin. But they were more obviously visible.
