Some operations are just for kids.....
I was thinking you were actually (a kid)...... Calling "Tubes," "grommets" is one hadn't come across
I have some students who have grommets in their ears LITERALLY. They keep putting bigger ones in for reasons I can't determine.One young man has them almost an inch in diameter.
Hope you are feeling better soon. ice cream is no fun if you HAVE to eat it.
