TEEN PIERCES EAR AND LIVES

ARKANSAS is where our next story comes from. It was just another normal, beautiful sunny Wednesday at Butler Manor. The Butler ladies had enjoyed Awanna's awards night and had just made it home to cook dinner and was getting ready to sit down to watch the rest of American Idol.

The Aunt, Kaye, walked to the bedroom belonging to one 14 year old Mary Margaret Butler.

"I was just going to ask her if she wanted cheese on her burger and to see why she had not turned in all of her school books, when I saw it and I was just devastated"
(Note: Mrs. Butler was not your typical Arkansas witness. She did not have her hair in rollers, house shoes or pj's on, and we could not detect the redneck gene. It is the practice of this news cast to only run pictures of typical witnesses, sorry.)
In the right upper ear of the accused teen was a huge, fake, dirty earring. The aunt reportedly asked when, where, and what the FORTHELOVEOFCHOCOLATE were you thinking? Miss Butler replied its been there for weeks and you just didn't notice it. I've been taking care of it. My sister knew about and some friends at school know. (Even the friends at school told her she was getting into TONS of trouble and MM said, thats fine I'll just get into trouble, well okay....)
The aunt is thinking, how stupid can I be? I've blow dried her hair several times, I've done her makeup, I've put her hair in pony tails for her, how could I have not seen this? The aunt missed it because the child was removing it and re-piercing her ear.

Witness: Why did you do it?
Accused: Because you never finish your sentences and I just want you to finish your sentences.
Witness: WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Accused: Every time I int erupt you, you stop talking and won't finish what you say
Witness: So to like "get back at me" you pierce your own ear? When I've said NOT TO.
Accused: Well, it just seems like you hate me.
Witness: Tell me how I show that I hate you.
Accused: Well you bought stuff for us this weekend when I thought you were going shopping for you.
Witness: WHAT!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Accused: I feel like I don't know my mom at all.
(now we are getting half the truth, mom has many piercings, some in unmentionable places, wonder should I check the accused in other places?)
Witness: That's not my fault that you don't know your mom.
Accused: That's not the story I get from my mom and I get a different story from Meemaw.
Witness: I DON'T CARE!!!! YOUR MOM DIDN'T PIERCE YOUR EAR, YOUR MEEMAW DIDN'T PIERCE YOUR EAR, YOU DID.
Accused: Well when our mom showed up at Mamaws this weekend I showed her. She said like mother like daughter, I did the same thing when I was your age, and I didn't show my parents until I got to high school.
(Am I getting the right message from the mother, isn't she telling this child that its okay to do whatever you want no matter if Kaye has told her no or not?)
Witness: I've been a teenager, believe it or not and I know how your brain works, little girl, I told you, no, you can not get any other piercings anywhere because it looks TRASHY. You think...I'll just do it myself. And you did and now its infected.

Her sister found out about the ear in the van on the way to school last week. Mary Margaret threatened her BIG TIME.

Groundings are dished out to both kids.
