Okay, so I swore there would be no facial piercings. I used the line "over my dead body" on several occasions even. It's not like I can't change my mind.
Perhaps my mistake was saying IF you get on honor roll, you can ask your dad and I'll go along with whatever he decides. Honor roll was missed by 2 points in statistics but all the other grades were good enough to give an 86 average. Not exactly high honors, but still far better than I was expecting. I may be a sucker, but hey, the kid works her butt off for those grades and already knows they better stay that way. Plus, we now get the good student piece on her car insurance, saving me $400 a year!
So off we went to Diversified Ink. Great place, really clean and the woman who did her piercing was great. I can't say I am thrilled with the look but maybe when she can switch it from the ring to the stud it will be a little easier to take. I have informed my darling baby girl this is the only thing I expect to see sticking out of her face, no matter how old she gets!
Parenting lesson number 832, don't be afraid to change your mind. It shows you are reasonable and can be counted on to look at the whole situation each time and realize things change.
