OFF TOPIC - pierced ears
Wandered back into the room from fixing dinner and heard Nicole
Ritchie's theory on tattoos -- she has 9, her fiance' has more, the kids won't want any because kids don't want to be anything like mom and dad. So maybe that's the solution to kids who really really want a tattoo ... decide that you want half a dozen yourself. -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf Finished 10/21/07 - Floral Elegance Collection "Crocus" WIP: The Teacher (gift to the library), Bethany Angel, Flowers of Hawaii (Jeanette Crews) for ME!!!

Karen ,
Education is not about `picking battles` , nore about `save the argument[s]` , educating is living every moment in the manner one expects or hopes a child will learn from . But it also about giving choices , and tools to choose with ,,, mirjam lucretia borgia wrote: On Tue, 27 Nov 2007 20:52:41 GMT, "Diana" opined: I love taking the fun of rebellion out of rebellion. (snerk) Way to go ! With so many other really bad things teens can get into what's an earring or two lol Absolutely. Pick your battles. If the kids know you're reasonable about some things, they're more likely to listen when you say No to something else that means more. Although I personally choose not to have holes in my ears (I'm not a girly-girl and never was), I see nothing wrong with it for those who want them. I would save the argument for things like grades/smoking/drinking/drugs/fornication that can cause much more trouble long-term than wanting to wear cute earrings. And, yes, Cheryl, I will keep my eyes open for ladybugs.

As a matter of fact, I suspect that in a place that is under constant threat of annihilation, it's even harder. Lucille |
