I think earrings on tiny babies looks silly. I get that it is cultural for some, but I still can't get past it.

Then I did it again at 28. Wore earrings everyday for a year. Took them out for two weeks. Yep. Closed up again.
I might try again because my husband bought me earrings and I would like to wear them at some point.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

Getting pierced ears was my gift for my first communion, so I was like 8 or 9, I think.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

Both my older sisters had to wait until 13. But our parents got divorced when I was 10, and I talked my dad into it that year. Thanks, divorce guilt!
Both of my sisters are still pretty irritated about it.

Eta - if Molly really wanted hers done, I would probably be ok with it. However, the thought terrifies her and she says she never wants them pierced.
