Results tagged “A&E” from Birmingham Mail - Bad Dad

We emerged bleary eyed from A&E at 2.30am after nurses armed with suction tubes managed to retrieve the item from Jess's lughole.

Memo to blog readers:
If you ever find yourself with an itchy ear after swimming, please refrain from alleviating the problem with the end of a plastic toothed hair brush.

And if you should scratch the itch in that way, try to mention it with a little more advance notice before a foreign holiday than just eight hours.

5.23am - Shaken awake by the alarm clock - jump out of bed aching after playing football last night.
6.30am - In at the office to ger today's paper out.
1pm - A hard earned pint with colleagues in the pub
4pm - Finally get away from work.
4.30pm - Back home. Fall asleep at the kitchen table.
6pm - Over to a friend's house with the children and my wife. Nice evening meal at a pub.
7pm - Jess complains of earache.
7.01pm - Wife finds 'something like paper' in her ear. Decide to whip it out with tweezers when we get back to friend's house.
8.30pm - Something like paper turns out to be something rather bigger, possibly the rubber from the end of a pencil. Questions including 'why?' and 'how?' spring to mind.
9.30pm - A&E before the Friday night rush with a seven-year-old girl...shoul be fairly quick.
12 midnight - Have taken to shifts with my wife still waiting for Jess to be seen...why do I pay Income Tax?
Midnight to zzzzzzzzzz - still waiting.
Ahhh, the joys of parenthood.
