belly ring

When I got home from work the other day, my daughter gets up from the couch, grabs me by the arm and pulls me towards the back of the kitchen. She had a look on her face that suggested she was about to tell me something very important. By the scared look in her eye, I could tell she just didn’t know how to bring herself to say it.

She finally says to me in a low voice, “Mom, I don’t know how to say this… I didn’t really want to but AC said I should do it since another girl my age was getting it too.”

I’m looking at her and a million thoughts are running through my head… “What are you talking about?” I asked. She says, “Mom” as she slowly lifts her shirt up and exposes her pierced belly button, “Please don’t tell dad!”

My jaw almost fell to the ground. “What?!” “What did you do?!!!”

“I’m sorry mom, AC said it was o.k.”

AC? Ah, oh… arg! I almost screamed!

“Where’s your dad?!” “Dad is in the study, but please don’t tell him!” She’s begging me not to say anything to her dad. "Please...", she implores.

I’m trying to figure out how to deal with this situation. She’s 13!!!

And at the same time, my mind is going over a millions and one ways as to how I’m going to kill my sister!!!!

As I stared at her newly pierced belly button, I noticed it was a little pink around the edges. I asked her, “Do you even know how to take care of it?” “It looks red!” “What if you get an infection?”

I soon heard my hubby call me into the study. “Babe is that you?”

Ugh! I walked over to the study and opened the door. I took a deep breath to try and calm my nerves.

“How was work?” He asked. “Fine.” I replied with no emotion.

I could tell he knew something was up or at least something was on my mind (I’m not very good about hiding my emotions). “What’s wrong?” He asks.

“Oh, I’m just tired.” I replied as sat on a chair and began to yawn.

“What’s the matter with our daughter, she looks like she’s up to something?”

I don’t know, I just got home!” I almost yelled out, “Why don’t you ask her?!” But instead I said, “She’s in the living room watching TV.”

We talked briefly for a few moments and I went back to the living room to have a talk with my daughter. I will have to deal with my sister later.

I found my daughter sitting on the couch and laughing uncontrollably.

“You think this is funny!”

“Mom…((giggles))... mom…((more giggles))...mom..”

I was ready to smack her.

“Mom… look.” She pulls out the ring from her belly.

“What the…!?” It’s fake!!!!

“Ooh, you little…!“

“I got it from one of the quarter machines…!”

My hubby and my son come out to the living room. They were all in on it!!! AND they were all laughing at me!!!

Ha... ha...ha.

Now its time for me to figure out a way to get back at them for pulling this prank on me!








Maybe I should get one myself. What do you think?
