Until yesterday, I would have thought so, definately, but she has put forward quite an argument.
Mum, can I have my ears pierced?
No
Why not?
I want you to wait until you are a bit older
How much older?
When you are about 10
10, why?
So you can be sure you want them
I'm sure now
but once the studs were in, it would be too late to change your mind
Why would I change my mind?
You might decide you didn't like having your ears pierced
How many girls do you know who don't like wearing earrings?
And because it'll hurt
Of course it will, its holes being put in your ears
But you might cry
Yeah, I probably would, but 2 minutes of hurting means I'll always be able to wear earrings
When you are ten
It'll hurt just as much when I'm ten
Her father says as long as its her choice, and only 1 pair, he is OK with it. I'm not sure how I feel now that she has convinced me she understands what she is looking to get herself into.
