Earwig Makes a Move

Here's an interesting story for you...

Matt wakes up screaming at 6am on Monday morning, saying that there's something crawling and biting him inside his ear. After checking to make sure that he's indeed awake (and not dreaming), I have a good look and see a little black leg on the inside of his ear. All attempts to find the culprit fail and Matt, still in agony, lays crumpled on the floor.

Since it's too early for any of the medical clinics to be open, I take him to the local hospital, where thankfully triage sees him shortly after. Time is passing and in less than an hour I need to be at work, and it doesn't look as if poor Matt's problem is going to be resolved any time soon. I call the agency I emergency-teach at, and get them to send a reliever for my morning session.

Shortly after, Matt proudly walks out of triage with a tissue in his hand that reveals an inch-long EARWIG! (otherwise known as a 'pincher bug' in some parts of the world) Though I was fuming at the time because I would have time to go straight to work from the hospital, and effectively cost the Kinder quite a sum of money, puns won out in the end as we giggled about earwigs actually burrowing into someone's ear.

Hopefully work finds it amusing as it actually was! :/
