Well, I was in Wally-World today. I'm strolling up an isle; hearing awful, pitiful wails of crying. I'm thinking, "Some sweet child is not having a good day today." As I get closer to the source of the wails I thought I was sure to see a mother caressing her child because of an accidental boo-boo of some sort. Yeah, I saw a mother caressing her child alright but not because of an accident. This poor baby was being forced to have her ears pierced! The mom was strapping the poor kids head down on her shoulder amidst shrieks of pain while the sales associate performed the unnecessary procedure.
Yes, yes... I'm a girl; I like earrings. But no baby should be put through that. Vaccines - fine. Hospital procedures that save lives - fine. But EARRINGS!?!? It was awful to hear and witness. It felt like child abuse. Other onlookers were not happy with it either. It just all reinforced my opinion that girls should decide when they want their ears pierced. Earrings do not make babies prettier! God made them beautiful just the way they are.
When I was seven years old, I CHOSE to have my ears pierced. No, I am not against ear piercing but in an age of out of control feminism, a girl of any age should be able to CHOOSE when to have her ears pierce - if at all. Girls should be little girls. Let's not try an make them grow up too fast.
This world can be like a Merry Go Round where at times it can be monotonous and a little sickening. But other times it can be filled with music, laughter, and wonderful familiar faces. Well, that's what my world is like - I'd like to share it with you!
