Stuck in the Canal

Today was eventful...as it always is with kids. Kara was in the living room with toilet paper in her ear. Barry saw her and asked what she was doing. Kara started crying and said that a perler bead was stuck in her ear. He asked her if she did it and she said that Tanner did it. After questioning Tanner we realized that he obviously had nothing to do with it. Kara then admitted to putting it in her ear. We tried every we could think of to try and get that tiny bead out of her ear. We tried flushing it out.
Tweezing it out, but all the tweezers we had were too big. We even called Dick and Nancy to see if they had any small tweezers. Dick came over with some small tweezers, but they were still too big. We even tried to have her jump with her head tilted. Nothing was working.
We finally called up our friend Dr. Judd Anderson (a medical resident) and he met Barry over at the clinic. He had the perfect little tool (a Kelly clamp) and got it out in seconds.
Kara came back holding the Clamps with the bead in them and also a handful of stickers. Thank goodness Judd was avaliable to help and we didn't have to sit around an urgent care for hours.
