Childhood Phobia Realized
I’m down in Washington, NC visiting the folks (more on what I’m down here for later). Last night I was watching television with my Mother and I layed down and fell asleep. I woke up because my ear was really bothering me. It felt like I had been swimming and water was swishing around in there wanting to come out. I shook my head, wiggled my ear and the feeling wouldn’t go away. I finally layed with my head on the other side until it felt like water would leak onto the pillow. At this point I was going crazy. With water it usually only moves around like that when you move.
I was going crazy. I couldn’t site anymore. I asked my Mom if they had anything to clean out whatever was in my ear (thinking there was an earwax buildup or something). We were in the bathroom, she was looking through some drawers for somthing to use as I was shaking my head sideways to get it to drain.
All of a sudden a f#@$ing bug fell out of my ear and onto the floor!!! A f$#%#$%ing bug! OMG a f#$%$ing bug! My Mom saw it and recognized it as an earwig before righteously stomping it to it’s death. I had an earwig in my ear. Incredible. When I was a kid I had an insect phobia, and mostly because of the fact that they would have the ability to crawl in holes in your body, such as the ear. It was awful.
This occasion also marks the only time I can think of with my Mother not getting upset about my using profanity in front of her.
OMG! A F@$(ing Earwig was in your ear!!!!!! I did not think that rally happened. Holy crap dude that is awful. brrrr it gives me the chills just thinking about it. ahhhh, Justin
That was worth the language, joe. It’s awful! Kelly got one in her ear (an earwig…about 3/4 in. long!) when she was little. I went bananas! I lost it so bad that I didn’t know what to do, and my mother in law had the sense to pour water in her ear and the thing bubbled out. EWWWWWWW! It still gives me the creeps. Know what was going through my mind when it was in there? An old “Twilight Zone” I had seen when I was a kid, about a guy that had a bug in his ear and it burrowed all the way through and out the other side. Goes to show you should be careful what information you allow to be input into your brain, it’ll come to the forefront when you least expect it. Poor Kelly. Poor you. Bugs and pooping birds, you’re just magnets.
