Startling discovery: Bean sprouting inside girl's ear KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) Anita Tonn thought her daughter said someone put a "bee" in her ear. "I looked in there and didn't see anything," Mrs. Tonn said last week. "You know how kids are you just kind of humor them." About three weeks later, 6-year-old Paris complained of an earache and her sister made the startling discovery.

A bean had germinated and was sprouting in her ear canal. A boy at Paris' day care center apparently peeled a bean they were playing with and stuck it in her ear. The girl's efforts to dislodge it just pushed it farther in. It was removed by a specialist last Monday. The Tonn's salvaged the sprout and planted it in their garden.
