Why Would You?

I bought Eddy Haskel a recorder because at school they are learning how to read music, keep time, and care for an instrument. So why in the world would he put Silly Putty up inside of the recorder? The recorder was not expensive, but what possessed him to put Silly Putty inside?
Well here it is:
Me: "Eddy why did you put Silly Putty into your new recorder?"

Eddy: "Because I wanted to see if it would come out of the holes when I put in there," pause--- "but that did not happen."

Really, did you really think that the Silly Putty would just come out of the holes, like the Play Doh toys, really?? Thanks Eddy

Speaking of putting things were they do not belong I have another story to tell on Eddy

When Eddy was younger, I often thought that there was something in his ear, he rarely ever wanted me to clean out his ears, but those who know me, know I am like a mama monkey and I am constantly picking and preening on my kids.
There came a point in Eddy's life where he developed a stall tactic when it came time to getting dressed and ready for the day. Well that kid reads me like a book sometimes; and he knew if he brought me some Q-Tips or the nail clippers this would stall the dressing process. One day while he was stalling he brought me the Q-Tips and as I was cleaning, I noticed that the Q-Tip was really not going in to his ear very well *(I know all about Q-Tips and ears, and how nothing should enter the ear canal and all, but I enjoy the way a Q-Tip feels inside my ear), I grab a pen-light and look into his ear, where I spied something!! I called my MIL because she had an otoscope and medical training. She told me she would try to get whatever it was out, but if she could not that I needed to call my ear, nose, and throat specialist. When we got up to her house, she looked in his ear with the otoscope, and removed a pearl from his ear. A real live freaking pearl. Come to find out he was playing in his Grandma Crabby Patty's button jar and wondered what would happen if that pearl went into his ear, this happened as far as I can tell when he was two years old, the pearl was removed when he was 7. The pearl was in his ear for over 4 years!!!
The pearl had a hole in it so he could probably hear, and the way the ear canal is shaped it must have just lain out of sight when the doctor would check his ears on his Well Child Visits. This was the summer that Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl was released, so for a while we ended up calling Eddy, Captian Pearl.

So now you know please do not put pearls into your ears and Silly Putty into your recorder!!
