I promised my grandmother that I would never pierce my ears. In the "olden" days, the earrings were heavier and they pulled on the lobe of the ear and truly, my grandmother had pulled lobes!!!!!! And for that reason I did not. My sisters did, my sisters daughters did, my MOTHER did, but I am the only one in the family with virgin ears. Even my granddaughter has three holes in her "head"! each side!!!! I keep telling her that her brains are going to seep out! She doesn't believe. Who ever doesn't believe their own grandmother. I'm 76 and I could have them pierced - I CAN'T STAND PAIN!!!!!!! Edie
