Around Thanksgiving Maddy had mentioned wanting to get her ears pierced. She's mentioned it off and on for years. We decided it was a good time to do it. I talked to her about the pros and cons of the gun verses the needle. I let her make the decision and she chose the gun.
We went to Claire's on December 27. Maddy was super nervous and to be honest so was I. Thankfully the store was empty when we walked in. The girl who did the piercing was nice and tried to put Maddy at ease. Maddy chose birthstone earrings.
Right before she got her ears pierced a mom and her daughter asked Maddy if they could watch. Maddy wanted to say no but felt obligated to say yes. The mom put her on the spot afterwards by asking if it was bad. Maddy didn't want to scare the girl, but also didn't want her to think it was painless. She told the mom it wasn't bad, but throughout that day she was worried she made the girl think it was painless when in reality for Maddy it was not painless.
