Spot the difference

You may think that there aren't many similarities between Maltesers and cotton wool, but don't be fooled...

Sometimes my ears get blocked, and now is one of those times. I was prodding my right ear with a cotton bud the other day and now I have well and truly jammed the wax in. In an attempt to be slightly more sensible, I am now putting drops in before I go to bed and placing a small piece of cotton wool in there to stop the drops running out again. Last night, the cotton wool must have worked itself loose and fallen out onto my pillow. Unfortunately, I was having a dream about eating Maltesers at the time and so I ate the cotton wool. I woke up in the morning to find it lying there all soggy and chewed, and I had a very funny taste in my mouth!

(Incidentally, I once dreamed that I was brushing my teeth and awoke to find I'd spat all over my pillow!)
