Many heads better than one

Or... it takes a young person who is quicker on the uptake than me to see and point out the blindingly obvious sometimes.

Upset, teething baby with apparent earache.

Me: "She's also falling over a lot, which isn't helping. Keeps bumping her head."

Zara: "Yes well, her balance will be affected, won't it? If her ears are blocked up."

Me: "....... Ohhh yes, so it will!"

Five children and nearly 40 years on this planet and it hadn't occurred to me to make that connection at all! Duh. *Rolls eyes @ self*
