Why is this kid smiling?

This kid's smiling...I'd be in therapy.

This reminds me of an urban legend from when I was a kid.

A 9-year-old boy who complained of an earache was a little surprised when the doctor told him that a pair of spiders had tried to make a home out of him.

"They were walking on my eardrums," said Jesse Courtney.

One of the spiders was still alive after the doctor flushed the fourth-grader's left ear canal.

Excuse me while I reach for the Valium. Have I mentioned that I really hate spiders?
