This world
I took my daughter to get her nose pierced today. She turns 18 in two days and it is a birthday present to herself. We arrived only to be informed that I needed to produce her birth certificate. I needed to be able to prove that I was, in fact, her mother. Seriously? I love that this is a clean shop; one that obeys the law and and is run with integrity. However, and this has nothing to do with the shop, a stranger can take my daughter, at any age and without my consent or knowledge, to get an abortion. You can kill a baby my daughter is carrying, but don't stick a needle in any part of her body for decorative purposes. Crazy world we're living in...
