Did your mother think pierced ears were "barbaric"? Mine did. [View All]

She and her mom wore ugly button earrings.

I got mine pierced at the dept. store when I was 18. This was in the 70s after the hippies had started getting their ears pierced.

She said, "Well that's barbaric. Why doncha go ahead and get your nose pierced?"

She didn't know that now, kids get all sorts of places pierced.

She wanted some real pearl earrings, and dad told her he would not buy her any until she got her ears pierced, so she wouldn't lose them. She had a very nice real cultured pearl necklace.

She never got her ears pierced. She wore some ugly button earrings with several pearls in them she got from her mother.
