Ear piercing

Alexia came home the other day with heart shaped stickers on her earlobes. They were her earrings. She was very proud of her earrings and kept brushing her hair back and waggling her head so everyone could see them. She started naming off all the girls in her classroom who have pierced ears already. "You know," I said. "You could get your ears pierced for real if you wanted." Her eyes got real big for a second like WOAH! She looked kind of scared but with a hint of, "But I'd be so cool!" at the same time. And that was the end of that talk.
