Tiny Earrings.

A few months ago, "the" question was asked. After a waiting period to ensure it was something she wanted and not just because her friend did, the answer was yes.

She was a brave girl hardly flinching. She was so proud to tell everyone about her earrings. Cashiers, strangers, neighbors, swimmers, Grandma, fellow Jason's Deli customers.

After a few hours she said, "Mom, why did they put holes in my ears?"

Maybe I didn't explain it well enough. I do know now what she wishes for her Birthday.
