The Bean Boy

The culprit
Last weekend, as we were on the way home from a friend’ house, he told us that he picked up ONE green bean on the floor in his previous school (kindy) and PUT INTO HIS EAR!
Huh!!!!
Hubby and I were speechless for a while. And then told him not to do it again or put anything into his ear, eye, mouth or nose.
We then suspected that, the hard ear wax which looked like a small ball deep inside his ear was the green bean.
We always have to remove our kids’ ear wax frequently, as it can ‘accumulate’ to a lot. And I had difficulties removing the ‘ball’ of ear wax from his ear for the past 6 months. We tried using the wax solution, thinking it will soften it, but it won’t work. In fact, we thought of sending him to the ENT doc to have it removed.
We did send him to the ENT a year ago to have his ‘big’ ear wax removed.
So this time, hubby sent him to the ENT and the doc said “it should be ear wax”.
The doc laughed and said “You must be a naughty and playful boy.”
True enough, it was a green bean.
The subject
Ian: “Eh, how come it’s not green?”. He can even commented that after seeing the green turned brown bean.
When he got home, he can laughed about it and told me, “Mummy, the doc put water into my ear and it’s so noisy, and then he sucked it out!”
Hubby: “RM135 for one green bean!”
That is our son..
I remember when i was young, i used to put rice bubbles (the Kellogg brand one) to my nose…stuff it in
now i know how come ur green bean so expensive!
Aiyo… luckily no harm done, except to the wallet.
Hope he knows how dangerous it is to stuff things into his ear.
LOL! This is an interesting story. But, hope it won’t happen again. Ha!
mmmm, i was speechless too when i read his statement…thk God, nothing serious happened…phew!
it’s quite difficult to monitor what they do or what they put into their ears/eyes/nose/mouth…we cant be watching them every seconds…but hopefully they will soon learn that it’s wrong to do so…
hopefully my daughter wont encounter these at all *faint*
omg! 6 months??? thank goodness no effect on your boy. i’m not going to ask why he did that as i know kids are always curious. we just need to drill into them the dangers of doing such things. hope he has learn his lesson. imagine if he didnt mention about it?!! *shiver*
yala.. 6 months?? thank god the green bean didn’t grow leaf inside.. hahhaa… :S was surprised it doesn’t affect his hearing??
This is gross!! I must warn my gals never to do this!! Eh, why u so quiet in the blogosphere lately?
wow… wont pain ka with such thing inside the ear!
luckily can remove with ease. what did the doctor do ? spray ? phew. thank god it didn’t go any deeper in, otherwise ouch !
No wonder it cost so much. Well, if you leave it there long enough, it may sprout.
aiyor…that’s scary lar coz it can be dangerous u know !! thk god no harm but hopefully yr son takes this lesson more seriously. btw, i never clean my kids’ ear wax….too chicken to do it, blek
waiyoo..scary…he sounded so calm eh..
Tell me about it….I have bad experience with Jona as well of inserting a PVC balloon into his nose as well as his cousin nose!!! Hehe…I guess boy is always boy - full of adventurous due to high hormone testerone :)….but, hey, RM 135 is really worth it ler
