So, when I was little, I was curious to why earwigs where called earwigs. I put two and two together and guessed that they wigged (crawled in something) in ears. However, my parents/teachers told me this was myth. It's not.At about 5 am, I was having this crazy dream that something was in my ear... It woke me up and the dream was so real that it still felt like there something crawling in my ear!
I pushed it off for a moment thinking it was just my dream and then I heard it loud and clear - rummaging in my ear canal. Talk about a trip! I immediately tried to stick my finger and dig it out to no avail. It was driving me nuts. It would move around for about 5 seconds then stop for a couple minutes. This happened about 10 times and then I had enough. We live right next to the hospital, so I woke Bekah up and we went to the doctor at the ER. It was kind of funny/embarressing telling the receptionist that I had something in my ear. She probably thought that I was high or something. Anyways, at this point, I hadn't felt it for like 10 minutes, so I was like, "great, its probably nothing." Just then, I felt it more than ever. It felt like it was crawling out of my head! I told Bekah to try and look in to see it. She shrieked a bit and the culprit landed crawled out of my ear and dropped right on my paperwork and scurried away to the ground where I ended the story and squashed the little guy. This whole time, we are in the middle of the waiting room - I guess we put on the little show for the people in the waiting room/receptionist.
Anyways, I guess, the little thing had crawled in my while I was sleeping! Earwigs are called earwigs for a reason. Be careful out there.

This story is real. I woke up at 5 with Mark bolting from bed, sprinting to our bedroom door, shaking his head all about furiously and making all sorts of exclamations. Don't worry, no profanities. I kind of thought he was crazy. But, there is nothing creepier than seeing a large bug crawl out of your husbands head. When this happened, in the emergency room, I was shrieking and running all around, as was Mark, and we both looked a little crazy.
gag!!!!!!
that is so sooooooo sooooooo gross! I am eating my cereal right now and think I'm going to hurl!
GAG!
Mark, I'm sooo sorry had a critter in your head. Bekah, I'm so sorry you had to watch it COME OUT!
EWW! that was a sad story. I'm just glad it crawled out on its own. sick. i hate bugs.
Oh no. How grose. Sorry I missed the show at the emergency room...luckily I know you both well enough that I can imagine it in my head and make myself laugh. Now I bet you anything I will have cochroach nightmares tonight. Thanks alot. Love ya!
Oh my gosh! Heart attack! This is so disturbing. I don't think I would ever get over it if there was a bug in my head!
sick. simply sick. happy thanksgiving!
That is seriously like a story from Star Trek or something.....I can't believe it?!? Are you living in the jungle? Imagine what crawls in when you go camping?? I am glad that you are ok.

Tiffany read this story to me while I was in bed, and I loved it. At first I thought Mark was telling the story about Bekah, because of the girlish things Mark was doing, but alas, it was Mark, and it made the story all the better. I can picture the whole thing happening in the ER, and knowing you two, and just laughing at it. Glad your brain wasn't invaded Mark. Bekah, I can also picture you running like you did around the ER, I hope you both went around and asked for spare change after the entertainment in the ER. You couldn't script a story better than that.
Go Jazz!
wow that could make you paranoid to sleep!
