My Dad wouldn’t let me get mine pierced until I was in the 3rd grade. Which maybe I should have waited longer because I took them out and never put them back in so I had to get them done TWICE. My MIL and SIL didn’t get their ears pierced until about 10 years ago. They are 30 something and 60 something.

The other night Ava asked me “Does it hurt to get your ears pierced?” I told her just for a second. It feels a little bit like a bee sting. I then asked her why she wanted to know. She told me she wanted to get them pierced. I’m assuming this is because her friend wants to get hers pierced before Christmas. Which really is not a big deal to me. I think she’s old enough. I just don’t know if David will agree. You know how Dad’s are.

Ava then told me “Did you know there are little preschoolers with their ears pierced at school?”
I said ” Yes…Did you know some people get their babies ear pierced. Kids the age of your brother and younger”
Ava: “That’s dumb…babies are already cute they don’t need earrings!”
