Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Well, my fourteen year old decided she wanted to get her nose pierced. What does Mrs X say? Of course she says no in no uncertain terms, not knowing that I had already given her the okay. I mean, what the hell, if she gets sick of it, she can take it out and it’ll heal. It’s not like she’s getting a tattoo or something.

So anyway, I tell daughter, go ahead but I am NOT paying for it. You want it done, you save your baby sitting money. So, yesterday, we go to a place where I know the owners and artists and she get’s it done. Piercer is standing there afterwards as she’s digging the $35 out of her pocket and looks at me and says “I can always tell when a kid is paying…I don’t even have to look to know I’m gonna get a buck in change and a bunch of grubby dollars.” Sure enough, he closes his eyes and she pays him with a buck in change and 34 grubby singles.

The BEST part of the whole thing is that since she babysits for Persephone, I can now tell the world that Persephone paid to have my kids nose pierced. :smiley:

I just had to share that…you may now return to your lives.

nd it looks darn cute on her, too. :smiley: An when I paid her for babysitting tonight, I told her that now she could start saving to get her eyebrow pierced.

Well, when she asked to get the nose done, me being the inattentive ass that I am, assumed she said eyebrow and just said sure. I couldn’t care less if she got the other side of her nose, both eyebrows and rings all the way around her ears…

But I ain’t gonna pay for it :smiley:

$35 bucks? She should have done it herself.

I’ve got a staple gun and a roll of paper towels.

Heck, I’d only charge $20.[sup]00[/sup]

Well, I tried to tell her that I’d be glad to do it for free. Ungrateful brat said no. What are ya gonna do?
