This is hilarious. Very similar to various troubles I got into as a child. What aging scheme do you use for Elves? 1/2 aging rate of humans? ~Eruherdiriel

As always a wonderfully written story. I love your fics about the twins. I wonder how Elrond will possibly get that catepillar out of his son's ear... then again he's supposed to be well learned in all the languages of beasts... perhaps he'll talk it out... Now that is a hilarious mental picture. Please keep updating!

So fuzzy green catepillers fascinate young elves as well, hmmm? I remember my sister and I doing many of these same things with them when we were small. I like how you combined this with a small child getting something stuck somewhere it shouldn't be. The whole thing was quite funny and sweet at the same time. One little grammer thing: "Once I saw an elf with their ear tips chewed right off" isn't right - it mixes plurals and singulars. It should be "Once I saw an elf with his [or her] ear tips chewed right off" or "I've seen elves with their ear tips chewed right off." It's a hard thing to catch - I know I'm often guilty of it, in an attempt to be gender-neutral but still in the singular. Most people don't use perfect grammer when speaking anyway, and Elladan is very young, so it's not a big deal, but I thought I'd point it out since it jumped out at me when I was reading.

PS Are we sure that it's the CATERPILLAR that's being very stupid?

I remember this story from when the challenge first came out. I thought your story was delightful then, and I still do. :) I can just imagine Elrond's reaction to hearing, "Ada! There is a caterpillar in Elrohir's ear." LOL Great story, Dragon. An excellent response to the challenge.

If only he could stand it long enough until it became a butterfly. Then it could fly out on it's own. I love that they named the caterpillars and tried to race them. Sweet story!

The twins are so sweet before testosterone poisoning gets to them. Competitive, but loving. Although the thought of a caterpillar in the ear makes me shiver - insects are all right as long as they keep their distance. I can just picture a serious council meeting being interrupted by the need to retrieve a caterpillar from a small pointed ear. Lots of eyes cast to the skies and impatient sighing - and a lot of 'thank goodness it's not my son'.

LOL I don't think there is a human alive that can't say they haven't had something like this happen to them. (mine was a ring down the throat.) I can't wait to see Elronds reaction to this one.
