Breakfast Special

My roommate was in a car accident, which resulted in her ear being sliced off. This was back in the 1960s so they gave her a hard heavy plastic ear that was really thick. I’m sure there are more sophisticated versions these days. So she usually had the fake ear attached to the little nub that was left on the side of her head. Since it was probably uncomfortable, she would take the plastic ear off when she was home, which was hard to look at, but I felt bad so I just dealt with it. But sometimes I’d find the ear would be in different parts of the apartment and you never knew where it was going to pop up. Luckily, she had a great sense of humor about it. But sometimes she took things too far. As a joke she would put the ear on plate with your eggs and toast in the morning. It was hard to remain hungry after that.
