Right of Passage?

Bailey's Gam took her shopping yesterday and Bailey came home with more jewelry than I own. OK, maybe not quite. But she felt the need to clean out her jewelry box and put her unwanted earrings in a ziploc. She then gave them to Maggie and told her "for when you get your ears pierced." I've been asking Maggie for years now if she wanted to get them done but she was adamant about not doing it yet. Too scared. But when she saw all that could be hers... she decided she was ready. So off to Claire's where a delightful young lady did the deed. There was only an "OW" from Maggie and that was that. Now she wants to know why I'm telling everybody. I told her "because it's a big deal!"

Bailey then asked if she could get double pierced. Oy vey! I said "not this young!"
