Remember the game Operation? Well, we got to play a round as a family this morning.
Junior decided to stick a Kix in his ear. The little round kernel fits perfectly in a child's ear. So much so I couldn't fish it out with my fingers. I had to use plastic tweezers and Charles had to hold Junior down so he didn't squirm.
What's grosser than a mushy Kix?
A mushy Kix covered in ear goo.

Don't you know about the crush and blow? On an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond," I learned an invaluable tip for dealing with cereal in bodily openings. Of course, they were talking about a Cheerio up the nose, but I think it could work in lots of openings.
You crush the offending cereal then blow it out. Seems like this might work in the ear (says the mommy whose older son had tubes put in at 8 months then had them removed a few months ago because they had come loose and one actually moved backwards and lodged into the ear drum so the drum had to be covered with a patch).
(Maybe this is why I haven't been asked to contribute to any articles in "Parents" magazine!)
