XD I got my ears pierced because I got an awful haircut at about the age of seven or eight and my mom felt bad for me.

My mother would have died before she’d buy me a bra–of any kind let alone purple.  (Now, of course, I want to know what Gail’s mother was/is like.) It can’t be that the biographer in me is just plain curious…
You’re touching everything we feel when we’re young.  Well, almost

Do you still have ‘em?
In 1990, my BF had one pierced. He was so proud of it. He had many tee shirts that had ‘random’ holes in them — but there was alway a hole in tee shirt to show of his nipple piercing. He had a captive bead.
Great story. I love the “vagina friendly” badge!

Very funny — when did i stoped asking permission ?? Ouhm i’ll have to
really think about it (mind you i never had my ears pierced, nor my body
tatooed, nor pierced it in any way ! Such a docile daughter - boring)

I think i started smoking (”philip morris bleues”) and lost my virginity at
13 (didn’t ask for permission) and started all kind of drugs at 19.

Great comic! I love the NYC scene with the “Tracy, you’ve been
staring at yourself for an hour” line!

My grandfather would take my brother and me to Capital Toys, a giant toy store with shelves that seemed to reach the ceiling, and let us buy anything we wanted, except toy guns. We’d wander the aisles, unable to decide, and he’d get grumpier and grumpier. Finally he’d say, ‘for christsakes! choose something and let’s get out of here,” and then we’d rush madly through the aisles and grab something.

Grandparents didnt let me do anything!
On grandma came after me with a shovel when I was picking flowers in her garden at age 4.
The other warned me to stay indoors because there were homosexuals roaming the streets of her neighborhood.
You had it real good in my opinion.

Janet another friend of mine has a grandmother who kept flowers inside her bra so she’d always smell good.

My grandma always kept candy in her purse. When we’d go out she’d wrap rolls, egg rolls, anything that could be wrapped in napkins from a buffett she would stick in her purse. She also kept paper towels in her bra and get them out as needed for runny noses or what have you.

Personally, I never dared to let anyone shoot my ears ;o)

If a person wants to sleep well they should ignore almost everything that parents, school teachers, doctors, government, papers, and all other authorities say. That makes life harder but very pleasant.
