CDA Woman Crunches On Hearing Aid

“I reached for my Milk Duds box and poured a couple of morsels in my hand and threw them back and started to munch.” So far, so good. “As I enjoyed the chocolate and caramel taste, it appeared that one of my Milk Duds was not as fresh as the others. One was rather crunchy and I could not get it to soften up, no matter how hard I tried.” The transplanted Texan was puzzled. Finally, she removed the dud Dud from her mouth. She wanted to see what the problem was. “I found out.” Apparently, as she had shifted into position on the bed, a hearing aid had fallen out of her ear and dropped right into the little box of candies. She couldn’t have done that on purpose if she had tried. The hearing aid was now coated with chocolaty goodness. Fortunately, it wasn’t destroyed nor was there any dental damage/Paul Turner, SR. More here.

Question: Can you think of a moral to this story?
