Ear Piercing #2 10/29/2007
Well Chandra decided that today would be a fine time to go in to the Pharmacy and get Littlest Lethalu Teresa's other(right) ear pierced again. I think that it was as a result of this critical juncture in our lifes with Dad having his heart attack, something to pass time and take one's mind off the heart attack no matter how briefly.
Littlest Lethalu had her ears both pierced a couple weeks ago as mentioned in a previous BLOG, problem was that the Pharmacist's assistant really got the right ear piercing off and down low on the lobe, badly, the result was we had to take the post out of her right ear and let it heal and then wait and have it re-pierced. Well we've both been putting the piercing off, and off, and off as it does hurt even if very briefly and we didn't really want to go through it again. But in we go, and Chandra went to the Pharmacist and told him to look where the goofy assistant pierced the right ear, the Pharmacist dutifully chastised his assistant along with Chandra's $25 worth of the same, no not 2 cents worth, Chandra doesn't operate that way, the guy deserved lots of chastisement and he got it.
Littlest Lethalu did recognize the Pakastani assistant and let out a howl, which she did the first time even before the piercings!, she just didn't and doesn't like the poor guy at all, no break for him, especially this time around, but they did get the second piercing on the right ear done and in another week or so we'll put in her other 22K gold & diamond earring that my jeweler friend gave her as a present, very nice earrings.
Sure glad that this is out of the way!, it's bad enough when you have to take your little ones in for their inoculations and all, that's needed, a necessity, but this ear piercing!, I didn't and don't like it but then it's a Sri Lankan cultural thing that somewhere after 3 months old, and as close to 3 months as possible, that you get a baby girls ears pierced, we procrastinated until she was 6 months old, or lets say "I" procrastinated!, not loud and long, just silently and by not loading up when mentioned to take her in for the ear piercing, until Chandra finally said "you coming or not?", yes, I'm coming dear!
But be that as it may, it's done, and I'm not sure if this cultural thing is Tamil Sri Lankan &/or Sinhalese Sri Lankan, or maybe even goes back to the family roots of Tamil Indian!, doesn't matter though, it's done!, and better late then never it would appear! Gold ankle bracelets next, as soon as she gets old enough that she won't lie on her back, lift her legs over her head and rip them off prior to eating them!, heh, heh!
