My son put a pebble in his ear when he was 4. He had to have outpatient surgery to get it out because it was resting against his ear drum and they were afraid he would squirm while they were trying to get it out unless he was under anesthesia. His preschool teacher pulled me aside when I picked him up that day and told me he had been awful all day.. oppositional and defiant and she was convinced that he hated her (she had a good relationship with his sister/my daughter a couple years prior and was GREAT with the kids). So I'm yelling at him in the car on the way home that he has to do what Miss Marcella tells him to do ALL the time and he cannot act like that. He pipes up from the back seat "I have a rock in my ear" I say "What do you mean you have a rock in your ear?"
Boy: On the playground, someone put a rock in my ear.
Me: Who put a rock in your ear?
Boy: I don't know.
Me: How can someone put a rock in your ear without you knowing who did it?
Boy: They were behind me
Me: If I have to take you to the hospital to get a rock out of your ear, I need to know who did it!!!!!!!!! (yelling)
Boy: <very quietly> I did it.
Me: WHY WOULD YOU PUT A ROCK IN YOUR EAR?
Boy: To see if it would fit
We get to my daughter's school to pick her up from latch key and I look in his ear and can't see anything. I'm not sure if he's telling me this to get out of being in trouble for being mean to his teacher or what. But when we get home, I get out a flashlight and sure enough, there's a flippin rock in his ear. ARGGGGGGGG. Hubby takes the kid to ER and they send him home "Don't let him be too active" Yeah right! He's a FOUR YEAR OLD BOY! Scheduled for surgery the next morning <sigh> What a trip! Funniest story of his life... so far (hoping it stays that way!) Oh yeah, 4 year old boy on anesthesia.. funniest thing EVER!
ETA: We still have the rock, they gave it to us in a biohazard bag...LOL
