Other times and cultures as in the dark ages or in Biafra! I’m always surprised when you have a knee jerk western PA reaction to something. ; )
Yes, other times and cultures.
In my entire lifetime people have gotten their ears pierced in shopping malls. Not doctor’s offices.
And I checked some baby sites and it is not a normal practice for American hospitals to offer ear piercing. The pediatricians don’t recommend such a thing.
Why is it that I’m not allowed to have a culture and a reaction to what is an alien expectation?
I will offer an apology to T5 if my reaction offended her. But I’m not going to apologize to you for it.
