yeah .. that's how my 17 year-old son began a conversation with me yesterday ... THAT was a waker-uper .... then he proceeds to tell me how he's *thinking* about getting his nipples pierced. "I think I'd look great", he says .. I'm just sitting there listening to him .. now, I don't have pierced nipples so I can't really say anything about it .. so I pick up my phone and call a friend who can give him the complete 411 on nipple piercing ... from the pain, the risks of infection, the risks of body surfing with a pierced nipple (and perhaps ending up with no nipple at all), etcetera, etcetera ...
I told him it's his decision, ultimately .. when he's 18 and pays for it. But it's something he'll have to live with.
The point? Don't freak out if your child starts a conversation with, "So, mom .. I don't mean to sound gay or anything.. " 'cause you just never know where it's going
Good god .. and he's the *good* one .... I'm in for such hell from the other two.. *sigh* ...
