For some unknown reason, my boys have recently found my earrings to be a great topic of discussion. They are keen to know if it hurt to get "the hole put in there"?, does it hurt everytime I put in earrings?, how old was I when I got the "holes put in my ears".......etc etc etc
I had decided to change my earrings (which doesn't happen very often), and I asked William if he would like to choose another pair for me. We got out the little box with all of my earrings and sorted them into 'can sleep-in'/ 'can't sleep-in' piles. He chose a little pair of studs from the 'can sleep-in' pile which are a lovely aqua blue with gold, and are even more lovely because they used to be my Grandmother's (you know me and anything vintage).
As William was discovering the technical side of inserting earrings, I mentioned that these earrings made my eyes look really blue (my eyes change from green through blue to grey).
About this time, Thomas had gotten out of the shower and joined us in the bedroom. He picked up a pair of earrings from the 'can't sleep-in' pile, a red dangly pair I wear at Christmas time, and proceeded with these words of wisdom:
"Mummy, if you wore these ones, would your eyes turn red???"
What more can I say?!?!? The pic above is from the archives of 'yet to post' holidays snaps. This one was taken on Christmas Eve at Rod's parents house.
