certified baby girl

last sunday, my husband P and i were ecstatic. we had little ayel's ears pierced. she is now a certified baby girl and we think she looks prettier with earrings.

it wasn't the first time for me for i had my son's ears pierced as well when he was about 11. what can i do? i said no but his dad said "let's let him, for experience". that, and the fact that he had earring holes, too. it makes me laugh everytime i think about it. my son R was in grade four at LCC. the nuns rounded up all male students with pierced ears and demanded that their parent/s meet with the guidance councilor. i told R's dad that he should be the one to attend for obvious reasons. he did. when asked if we allowed R to have his ears pierced, his dad smiled meekly and scratched his head. when they saw the father had ear piercing too, it was him who got reprimanded by the nuns.

R's earring holes are still open but he does not wear earrings anymore. his baby girl does.
