Another thing I don't get

Babies with pierced ears.

First of all, I hear it's hard enough to watch your child get immunized because you can't really impart to them that it's for their own good. I can't imagine sitting through an ear-piercing (followed, of course, by screams that pierce the ears of all onlookers).

I understand parents who want you to know that the cute little boy you just cooed over is actually a little girl. That explains the highly successful baby headband bow industry.

But your ears continue to grow throughout your lifetime. Where are those holes going to be in 18 years? I have chicken pox scars that have moved well over a foot. And I had chicken pox when I was eight.

And, my opinion only, it just looks weird. Babies don't need bling. That's the one time in your life that you can be fat and bald and poop your pants in public and everyone still thinks you're adorable.
