Carabiners Are the New Hoops





INT. CHERI'S CAR, DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL - DAY


Me: "Laura, do you have carabiners in your earrings?"

Laura: "Hehehehehe. Yeah."

Me: "Did you wear those to school today?"

Laura: "Hehehehehe. Yeah."

Me: "You went out the door with those things in your ears this morning and I didn't notice?"

Laura: "Hehehehehe. Yeah."

Me: "Holy crap."

Laura: "Am I in trouble?"

Me: "No. I am."

Laura: "Hehehehehe. Yeah."

Holy crap!

That looks like it would hurt.

Tell her she's going to have earlobes down to her knees if she keeps that up.

Cheri @ Blog This Mom!® said...

Blognut: Exactly. I told her she's going to need a push-up bra for her earlobes by the time she's 35.

At least she hasn't started wearing them directly in her ears. Those carabiners look to be between 10 and 8 gauge. I'm not saying having 8 gauge piercings is a bad thing, however, it would be quite unique on someone Laura's age.

Bryce: Don't even THINK it! OWWWW! Noooooo! Ahhhhhhh!

She is a very clever girl. With very strong earlobes. Also? That might be my daughter's carabiner. If so? I'm sorry.

Am I too old to wear carabiners in my ears?

In other news....I love her necklace!!

Chris said...

OMG! You didN'T notice? OMG! Doesn't that hurt? OMG! She's SO smart! xxoo

Trish said...

What's wrong with carabiners in her ears? Better that than... a mini skirt and high heels like some kids we may or may not know.

Mary said...

oh my giddy aunt she is growing up!!

I can't believe she helped herself to your earrings just like that. You should keep your "jewellery" under lock and key.

I'm so sorry, but...does that not start to hurt after awhile?? ow! i'm such a weenie...I think 'll start with something a little not-so-big.....what does Laura suggest?
and really? you didn't see her leave the house like that?? man. i bet your older girls are pissed about that. amazing how reeeelaaaaaxed we get with the younger ones!!! ;-)

Beth said...

Take heart – at least she wasn’t hiding anything from you and you’ll both notice when her earlobes have stretched down to her shoulders. Until then, it’s an interesting fashion statement. ;)
Is she taking up rock climbing?

My earlobes ache just looking at her. :-)

Green Girl in Wisconsin said...

A push-up bra for her earlobes--love it!
but she could carry her water bottle on one side and her backpack on the other. SO versatile! And cooler than fishing lures as earrings (the rage in these parts).

OUCH!! My ears are now cringing. se

Stu said...

When she has one in her nose, post that picture too.

I think it looks cute, and better yet: no permanent damage to mucus membranes. ;)

rima said...

What is a carabiner? Is this something I missed due to my ethnic upbringing?

ms-teacher said...

she rocked the look - 'nuff said ;)

Kalynne Pudner said...

I bet I know what would happen if I show this picture to my girls and tell them this is what they're doing in California.

Life As I Know It said...

ouch! those look really heavy!

Magpie said...
