My daughter was about 6 years old and she had just lost one of her baby teeth and she put it under her pillow and went to bed. Well about 10 minutes later she comes out scared as can be saying my ear hurts. Well I proceed to look in her ear and low and behold the tooth was lodged in her ear canal. I was like 'Why is your tooth in your ear?' She replied 'I was trying to hear the ocean.' Well the emergency doctors had to put this one in their weirdest emergency book 'Child wants to hear the ocean in her tooth.' They said it was the first they have ever heard of this happening. She 26 now and we all still tease her about this one. What is the weirdest thing that you have heard that a child put in their ear?

When my sister was about six years old, she stuck a pea up her nose, and couldn't get it out. My mother was able after a while to get it out without it going further up her nostril. We never found out why she decided to do that. After that incident she aquired the nickname Peedie

That is definitely a first. The weirdest thing my son has ever put in his ears is playdough. I was able to get it out, and told him not to put it in his ears again. He never did, but he did put some up his nose. It is both scary and funny to watch children learn about the world around them.
