When I was little I used to hear the expression "Did you use your marbles?" n order to secure that I would never lose my marbles I decide that plugging my ears with ear plugs would eliminate the possibility. I walked around with ear plugs as often as I could until I was seven and my parents told me the truth. They were laughing at first but then I guess decided it was sad.
