Surprise...!

Dear Nicky,

So it turns out your ear tube is there after all.  This morning we went to see Dr. Berg, because we thought your right ear tube had come out.  That's what one of Doc Mock's associates told us, anyway.  Guess she really is as clueless as many people say.  Well, we went to Dr. Berg's.  You walked from the parking lot all the way upstairs.  When the doc saw you, he said there was a ton of wax in your ear.  He cleaned it, which was agonizing for you--and me, as I was the one to hold you in a trembling, sweaty death grip.  Your ear was cleaned, the tube was now visible, and we went off to Stones.  You needed some time to chill once there, so I left you to their tender mercies and went about my day till it was time to receive you in the afternoon.

Love,

Dad
