Left Ear

Because I told my little nephew not to set off firecrackers or play with fire, he waited until I was asleep and shoved a firecracker into my left ear.

The delay in treatment left my eardrum perforated and permanently deaf, but my family just said, "You still have your right ear, don't you?"

Reborn, I helped my little nephew push open my brother and sister-in-law's bedroom door.

"Your parents love firecrackers. Go set some off for them to hear."
