2 kids. 3 ear infections. All this cuddling is awfully nice.

My 3 1/2 year old daughter suffered from ear infections a lot when she was an infant and she eventually needed to have tubes put into her ears 2 years ago. She's been ear infection free ever since, until Friday night that is... The only good thing is that now that she's older she could actually tell us that her ear hurt, "on the inside Daddy", luckily we took her to the Doc and got her on antibiotics and she felt better quickly. The bad thing is that our 17 month old now has ear infections in both ears and isn't responding quite as well to the meds and has been running a fever on and off for 3 days now. Poor little guy is a trooper though and fighting like the best of 'em. The only bright side for us (there's always a bright side), is that the tough guy has been a big mush and non-stop cuddler. I can't help but feel bad for him because I know he's uncomfortable but all this cuddling is awfully nice.

And with that here's a little "ear" humor.

An old man walks up to the receptionist in a crowded waiting room of his doctors office. The receptionist asks him to state his problem, to which he replies, "I've got a problem with my d!ck." The young woman became immediately annoyed with him and told him he shouldn't use that kind of language in public and perhaps he could have just said he had a problem with his ear which would be less offensive.

So the man walked out of the waiting room, waited a few minutes and walked back in to try again. Again the receptionist asked him to state his problem, "I've got an ear problem, the old man says".  The young woman smiled at him proudly that she had taught him a lesson.

"And what is wrong with your ear exaclty?" She asked.

"I can't piss out of it!"
