I saw something there that horrified me.
Tell me it isn't so.
And while I'm on the subject of horrifying decorations … Master 16 has declared he wants one of these.
Now it's not that I hate them … on other people.
It's not that I can't appreciate that they look kind of hip … on other people's children.
Just not my children.
I know I'm being old fashioned. I know I'm being the uncool Mum. I know I sound just like my Mother … "If God meant you to have holes in your ears/nose he'd have put them there". But the thought of him getting a ring through his nose kind of freaks me out … okay … totally freaks me out.
At 16 he is … apparently ... legally able to get one without my permission. So that's it I guess … all parental control down the gurgler … BOO HOO.
In other Master 16 news … he has his Year 10 formal coming up very shortly … preparations are being made. Here's a quick sneak peek.
New outfit means new shoes … and I just want to know … where, when and how did his feet get so incredibly, humongously and horrifyingly BIG … and are they ever going to stop growing?
What's horrifying you this Halloween?
What do you think of nose rings?
I don't see the point of Halloween, I hate Christmas but I love nose rings! x
ReplyDeleteI don't see the point of Halloween either … I find Christmas rarely lives up to expectations … and the jury is still out on nose rings ;0)
Deletexx
whats horrifying me is that my 3 yr old daughter told me this morning to "just relax". ok so she was right I shouldn't yell quite so much as im trying to get them both out the door on time but come on!....well I hate eyebrow rings....I hate lip rings....but I kinda like nose rings....except the whole snot thing ewwww. I think the upside to getting them at 16 is that he will be over it by 18....fingers crossed x
ReplyDeleteOh that Frankie … give her a big kiss from me.
DeleteI'm hoping the novelty will wear off with the arrival of the first head cold.

Christmas tree!! nooooo!!! I am not even thinking about it, far too early- and piercings? gah! Eldest had her belly button done at 15 at Mr F's tattoo parlour, as I worked at a high school at the time (and a first aider) I saw too many girls who had got them done secretly and had HUGE infections, I made the decision for her to get one safely and watched my baby get pierced, she loves it though ps Master 16 sneak pick outfit pics are cool! x x
ReplyDeleteI totally understand … I would definitely rather take him myself than have him DIY it.
DeleteTeenagers!!!

Tell Mr 16 ( he can't be Master anymore with feet that big!) that no worries, he can have a nose ring on the one condition that you and I do the piercing for him! I'm sure I've got a big rusty safety pin here somewhere! We could do a good job of jabbing it through a tender bit of his nose. :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteThat's perfect. How funny.
DeleteI'm the one that couldn't bear taking him for his immunisations … this is all more than I can take …. aaahhhh!!
Deletexx
My daughter wants a nose ring, too. You and Juliet are invited to come over to do the piercing.
ReplyDeleteLOL … it'a a deal.

Christmas trees already!! Far too early, just wait for all that Christmas music to totally drive you nuts. I had my nose pierced when I was 40, but I got over it and the hole has closed up. I say let him do it, there are worse things he could want to do that are far more permanent than a tiny wee hole in his snoz, and if you agree to him doing it he may not want to anymore. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue … did it leave much of a scar when it healed over? I'm sure this is a fad with him … and he's likely to not want it as soon as he gets it.

No scar, it is such a small hole. Those stretcher things they all like to put in their ears these days leave huge slits, so a nose ring is nothing!!

DeleteWe go out for dinner to avoid the whole horrible trick or treating debacle!
ReplyDeleteChristmas - we keep it as low key as possible.
Nose rings? They are OK, I guess, better than tongue piercing. Let him have one, he can take it out for interviews! xxx
