Ear-spoons and ear picks are found dating from the post-medieval period of British history back into the Roman times. Ornate ear scoops have also been found in 9th century Anglo-Saxon sites.

Once there was a family that lost all its money. They had to sell their big house and all their fields, but the parents could not forget they had once been rich, and they did not let their daughter forget either. Out of all their vast wealth, they managed to keep only a silver ear scoop. It was a slender silver spoon about five inches long. People put it into their ears to take out the wax.

Thank goodness for the internet. Still don't remember where I first heard this story though.

Things that pop into my head

Anyone else remember that Chinese tale about the girl who is hanging out in the ruins of her family estate finds the old silver ear spoon? Is that even a real thing? Is it like a fable or was it something I read in my Chinese lit course in high school?

Ear spoon.

Just me?
