Today on the way home from school, Veda mentioned her friend Johanna and the fact that her little sister had her ears pierced. The following conversation ensued:
Veda - "Dad, Johanna's little sister has her ears pierced"
Dad - "Oh yeah, how old is she?"
Veda - "She's a 5 kid"
Dad - "You mean she's 5 months old?"
Veda - "Yeah, that's what I said"
Dad - "Are they clip on earrings or does it go all the way through?"
Veda - "It clips on and goes all the way through"
Dad - "Did you know that they poked that pin through her ear and it will stay there forever, until she is dead?"
Veda - "Really? Then I don't want earrings until I get older"
Dad - "How old is that?"
Veda - "Hmm, until I am 16 years old and I'm really old"
Well, at least I deferred the conversation for another 12 years. Short term win. I'll take it.
