Beaded Earrings

"All the kids are doing it. Not sure what started it--they sure didn't do it when I was a kid... But you look around, and all of a sudden everyone has stuff hanging stuff off their ears. It's not natural. I didn't come into this world with metal and beads attached to my ears and neither did you, so why do you feel the need to put a hold in yourself and latch those things on? You think you're going to impress someone? I've got news for you: you aren't impressing anyone but the Devil."
"What's that, honey? You say that by wearing those earrings that you're supporting social justice and fair wages for those less fortunate? In my day nobody your age worried about such things... maybe there is hope for you after all."
