My son is nine years old. He's bright, energetic and loves to be on the go. However, he has a temper. It tends to show its ugly face when his sister picks on him or when he doesn't get his way (normal kid stuff). I always tease him about being a little "Hulk" when his temper flares. I'll say something like "your green is showing, Jordan..." and it serves as a reminder to him that he needs to calm down.
Two weeks ago he developed an ear infection. In fact, we think he had a busted eardrum. Anyway, every morning I would clean his outer ear with alcohol and a Q-tip. He would love seeing the "gook" that was draining out of his ear. Mostly dried blood, however one day I pulled the Q-tip out and it was a yellow- green color, from the puss. I looked at Jordan and said, "Look, you really are "green" on the inside!!!" Oh if only I had a camera rolling that morning. With BIG eyes, he grabbed the Q-tip from my hand...
I wonder if I should have kept the evidence...

Gross. That's just gross.
But, really funny!!
Oh dear...did the doctor put him on meds for the infection? Hope there's no permanent damage, such a hearing problem.
It's neat that you and your sis have these blogs....nice to be able to click on "my favorite" and see what's up with you two!
Love,
Aunt Jo
