They're not cheap ones either. She saves about half of her pocket money and buys gold ones from a jeweller when she has saved enough. She has even bought herself a pair of small diamonds (€40/pair ones).
Yesterday I told her she had shown how determined she was to have some nice earrings, and saving like that showed she was being real responsible, so I would take her to get them pierced after her swim class.
At this point, she told me she didn't want them done yet. She wants to get them done when she a little bit older. She just wants to make sure she has some nice earrings when she decides the time is right. She then went on to explain that it would probably be at the start of the summer holidays next year or the year after, because then she has 8 weeks without school so she won't have to take them out early for sport.
If I had been spending half of my money on earrings for 6 months, I certainly would be in no mood to wait that long.
