"I hit my ear"

[fetch]

I must have had 5 or 6 of these complaints so far this year. "I hit my ear on a pole on the playground" or "I hit my ear on the door."

Do you mean you hit your head?

"No it's just my ear." Usually points to indicate the top of the pinna, where cartilage piercings would be. (Thankfully mine are all too young for that.) Never any swelling, discoloration, they let me touch and manipulate the area without saying "ow."

It's just so weird! Has anyone else had that? What do you do for it?

Rub a little dirt on it and you're good to go.

I yelled this at my kid once at a soccer game after a spill. People looked at me like I had three heads. I thought it was a joke everyone knew. Apparently not.

What, R.K., you DON'T have 3 heads? I am so disappointed to hear that!

Some people probably think I do....

I have the 3-in-1 model, so it's less noticeable.
