In our family lots of things happen when you turn 8. One of the privileges/ responsibilities you get is being able to get your ears pierced. Cambrie had almost forgotten about it, but about 3 weeks after her birthday she came to me saying, "Mom, I'm 8 right? So that means I can get my ears pierced right?" "Sure" I responded. Then needless to say she asked everyday after that. It took about a week for us to actually coordinate the trip without having to take everyone else with us. (mainly Colby) But better late than never right?! So off Cambrie and I went to Claire’s in the mall.
She was so excited. She hopped up in the chair and was ready to go. There were two girls there to do the piercing so they could do both ears at the same time. They did it pretty quick too. One ear went in smooth, but on the other ear the earring back got stuck in the gun and they had to wiggle it out and put it on by hand. It looked like it may have hurt, but Cambrie was tuff. She barely even flinched. After they were done we stepped back to take a look and realized the earring that went in smoothly, also happened to go in crooked. The girl who pierced that particular ear tried briefly to convince me that it was just Cambrie’s ear. The other worker then backed me up by saying “No you just needed to hold the gun straight”. Unfortunately we had to go home and take the earring out so the ear could close back up so they could redo it. We went back a couple of days later and they redid the piercing correctly. Again Cambrie was a trooper. Not a flinch! Finally she has her ears pierced! Congrats Cam!
