Did You Know?

Have you ever said, "Why didn't I think of that?" I say it all the time. The other day I was thinking about the invention of q-tips. I had been reading an article in my Parents magazine the other day that warned of putting q-tips in your ears. Now I know that we aren't supposed to put anything in our ears sharper than our elbows, but I use q-tips to clean out my ears everyday. So does my husband. We just clean out our ears, we don't go digging around. We never use them on Autumn because I would be afraid I would stick it in too far. Anyway, the article talked about how your ears produce earwax as a natural way of cleaning themselves out, similar to your nose. And, you do not need to do anything to clean them. It actually said that the earwax will naturally move out of the ear canal and slough off. That is disgusting! I am not just going to wait until stuff goes falling out of my ears.
