A Rite of passage for all young girls

7 1/2 years old and her choice was made- the turquoise from December
The fear sets in, as do the tears
The anxiety grows and she winds up sitting on mom's lap
It's over and the end result is priceless
Rick and I decided we wouldn't get the girls ears pierced until they were ready and asked
themselves. I was in 5th grade and remember it vividly. Back then in the stone age they didn't have two girls to simultaneously pierce your ears, the pain was almost enough to make you leave with only one side done. But, you stuck it out because you knew how ridiculous you would look at school with one earring. Way to be brave little Emma Roo
