Yep, you knew I was up for it right? I’m sure I will now be awarded it when the other moms all gather to vote. I mean, once they see this, how can they not vote for me.

That totally backfired on me. We’re at Wal-Mart, shopping as we wait for my oil to get changed in my car. We stop in the jewelry department to see if Margo is there. We <3 Margo. She pierced both of my girls’ ears at 10 weeks. She’s such a neat lady. Jordan asks if he can get his ear pierced.
I know, you are thinking oh H*$$ no, no way would I get my 11 year old boy’s ear pierced, right? Well, I thought I wouldn’t be the bad guy for once. I said, call your dad (my ex-husband), if he says yes, sure. I thought for sure he would say no. I’ve joked before about getting Jordan’s ears pierced, just to rile him up and he always says no.
Jordan calls his dad. Dad, can I get my ear pierced?
It’s up to you Jordan.
My mouth dropped.
It’s up to him?
*sigh* At least it’s not a tattoo right? (I have nothing against tattoos, I have 3 myself.) Meaning, it’s not permanent. Well, it is after awhile, but he can take it out if he decides he doesn’t like it. I have 7 holes in my left ear and 2 that are open still in my right and no one even notices them unless I put an earring in them. So, that’s a plus.
Pato is SO mad at me. I tried the old, honey, you have both ears pierced routine. He said, yeah and I got them done at 25 NOT 11.
Dude, his dad said he could.
He’s not answering calls from me now.
Oops.
Choose your battles. Choose your battles. That’s my mantra. He wants to grow his hair out. That’s fine. As long as he keeps it neat and clean. Now the earring. Keep it clean so it doesn’t get infected, I guess.
I’m sure his teacher is going to be so happy with me on Monday.
Have a great evening!
ETA – Just noticed my face breaking out – stress? Children will do that, if this keeps up I’ll need to invest in the best acne face wash stocks. It’ll surely go up if I keep breaking out.

It is only a piece of jewelry. Just like you said, he can always take it out. I live my life to the same mantra….pick and chose my battles.
I look at it this way…As mothers, we have to say yes to some of the things they are expecting us to say no to just to keep them guessing, but always sticking to picking and chosing our battles. And with that, you won this one.

You go girl. Now’s the time to let him start making decisions in his life. Both my girls had their ears pierced around that age, and had to take care of them until they healed (and beyond), and it’s been a good experience. It led the older one to decide she really didn’t want contacts all that bad. Go figure.
So Pato – get over it. You’re not exactly in a position to complain. Just make sure he cleans and rotates it, and keeps it from getting infected!

Like you said, at least it’s not a tatoo. If he decides he regrets it, he can always take the earing out and at his age, since he’s still growing, most likely it will close up, can’t do that with a tatoo. I say at least he didn’t want his nose, tongue, lip, or eyelid pierced.
