Oh, the Humanity

When Madi was born more than one person asked when I was going to have her ears pierced. I said that I had no plans to do that. I figured that when she got old enough to ask me, I would take her to have it done. We would make a day of it. Go eat breakfast at Zeig's. Do a little shopping at the mall. Then we would pick just the right pair of beautiful earrings to have her ears pierced with. In that sweet daydream, Madi was about 10 or 11.

Today I was perusing some of my favorite blogs when Madi woke up from her nap. She came to the office and sat on my lap. She and Jackson like to look at all of the pictures on the computer. I got to Gigi's blog and she saw someone she knew.

She said, "That's Shelby."

I said, "Yep."

She said, "What's that on her ears?"

I said, "It's earrings."

She said, "Where did she get those?"

I said, "The mall."

She said, "Can I go to the mall and get some of those?"

Oh, my gosh. This happened so much sooner than it was supposed to. Madi will be 3 in June. She is mature for her age but she is no where near 10 or 11. This is messing my daydream up. What am I supposed to do now? I feel the urge to do a poll. Does anyone remember how the mullet poll turned out? Well, it wasn't very good for me in the end. I think I may do a poll and just say up front that I may or may not go by the winning votes in the poll.

So, vote for what you think I should do, but know that this ain't a democracy, it's a dictatorship. If I don't want to do what you want me to, I won't. So there.

But I would love to hear your opinions. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
