Well this thread has brought back memories for sure.
My eldest daughter at 13 wanted hers done. Hubby and I
said NO. When she turned 16yrs I took her to a doctor
to get it done so my hubby wouldn't say no. Well of course
one ear became infected. So much for a doctor doing it.
My husband was sure she would loose her ear! I got yelled
at for days
My youngest got hers done on the Ocean City Boardway
along with me when she was 10yrs old and nothing happened
to either of us. Hubby was more realistic at this point.
