B2y, so funny! I remember having to wait for my 8th birthday to get my ears pierced. It was a HUGE deal to my dad. He was one of those people who said "if God wanted you to have holes in your ears you would've been born with them".

My oldest son's girlfriend, she's only 20, has her ears pierced BUT she has those big, round things in them that stretch the holes out to about an inch in diameter ! Boy, is she gonna regret that someday .
