among several others

one of my excuses is that we have all been sick.

Today my son - clearly fully affected by a head cold, said to me,
"Mommy, you hear that something in my ear?"

"No, son, what is it?"

"It is a drum, drumming"

"There is no drum in your ear" (let's not confuse the issue - he is two)

"Mommy, you hear that something?"

"No, son, what is it?"

"A ghost ... in my ear"
