Do not add anything into your ear! The kernel of popcorn is plenty for now.... Rather, you should:
Go to your doctor or emergency room TODAY!
Why?
You'll be glad to know the ear is a really cool part of your body. It has a way of cleaning itself of dirt, little particles, dead skin, etc using wax. However, it is NOT equipped to deal with kernels of popcorn, and here's why....
If you look at a kernel, it's mostly round; the key word being MOSTLY. There is a sharp point on it. Because of this, it is even more important to go to your doctor or emergency room now! You do not want to fall asleep and have it move farther in, possibly piercing your ear drum, or putting pressure on your ear and thus damaging the ear canal.
Any way you cut it, it's time for you to meet some friends in the ER today, and have a professional take it out.
As for your sister, take her with you and make her sit through your very boring time at the hospital. Maybe even have the doctor tell your sister that ear injuries are very serious, etc etc, and you can tell her the procedure to take out the kernel was very painful and long. She clearly needs to have a reason to find better things to do than put popcorn in your ear!

I don't think so.. you need to go to the doctor. Messing with you're ears is actually really dangerous, and doctors have equipment for stuff like that. Good luck.

You should go to the dr. they can pull the kernel out before it does serious damage to your eardrum. You could lose your hearing in that ear if you don't have it taken out.
