I decided to take my 10-year old daughter to get her ears pierced last night. She's going to a Daddy/Daughter dance tonight, and I thought it would be a special time to do it.
Took her to our local Claire's store. The girl marked her ears, we all looked, agreed they were fine. Well, after piercing them, one looked significantly higher than the other. I don't know why or how. I asked her what we do now, and she told me that it can't be re-pierced unless we let it close, which takes about 2 weeks.
I just didn't have the heart to make my daughter take out her newly-pierced earring. What we decided to do it let her go to the dance with the both earrings in and then take the too-high one out tonight. We'll let it heal for the two weeks and then have it re-done.
I feel so badly that she has to wear only one earring for two weeks. She keeps saying it's okay, so why do I feel so upset about this? I know in the grand scheme of things it's really not a big deal. I just wonder how many people do this every day without a problem and I try to do something nice for a sweet little girl and it turns into an ordeal.
Arghh!
Sorry for venting,
