A Bug's Life

There's a lot of bugs here. Last night, I was laying in bed while M. used the internet when out of nowhere zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZPPPPPP!! What the....."M!! There's a bug in my ear, it flew at my ear!! I hear it buzzing IN MY EAR!!!" Imagine me frantic and slapping furiously at my head. "M!!!! Can you check PLEASE??"

M: I don't see anything.
me: GET THE FLASHLIGHT!! GET A Q-TIP!
M: No, a q-tip will only push it further in.
me: THEN GET THE TWEEZERS!!
M: No, I know, we'll pour hot water in your ear and flush it out.
me:...........ok, HURRY! I can hear it buzzing!!

M. runs to the kitchen and returns with a bottle of water.

M: here, put some water in your mouth to warm it up.

me: ?????

this results in about 2 tablespoons of water mixed with saliva.

me: JUST POUR THE WATER IN MY EAR!

Miraculously, this works and the little mosquito spills out. Crisis avoided.
