There have been many requests for earrings but we have always been very honest with her: it involves a needle, it hurts and you have to do it twice. And until yesterday, her reply was always, "Yeah, no, when I'm a big girl I will. Not yet." It was different yesterday, she kept saying yes I know it will be painful but I'm ready and by last night she was in a tizzy of excitement asking and asking, filled with bravado. So off to the mall we went as a family.
She did do so well, with a large mall audience no less. Thankfully they had Hello Kitty earrings so that was a great start. She sat bravely through the paperwork, the prepping and cleaning. Then the peircing. And as much as I wanted to believe she would work through the pain and fear. Nope. It's official, my daughter has one pierced ear. It's sweet, she's absolutely thrilled but I fear there will be no second piercing for some time. I get it too, I remember clearly at age 13 also insisting one earring was enough for me. At least in my case it was the eighties.
No matter what, we are so proud of her. What a brave-ish girl she is.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. CAKE
