Bye bye earring

Before I tell this tale, I should begin by telling the tale of the pierced ear. On Tues, we went to the mall to see Santa and I always ask Sophie if she wants earrings. I was trying to talk to Vivian about it before this trip to the mall, when Sophie chirped up and said she wanted some earrings. I was THRILLED. We went to Claire's and Sophie was all ready. She had her teddy bear with her, sat in the chair, picked out the crystal flowers she wanted and everything.
There was only one employee in the store, and well, we left with only one ear pierced! It was way too traumatic to do the 2nd one. There were lots of tears. I suggested we go visit Santa and think over the 2nd ear. No candy bribe on earth could convince her to do the 2nd ear.
We left $40 poorer, with one earring.
Well, tonite, Friday night, after many warnings and admonishings, the girls were jumping and wrestling on the bed while I talked to Daddy on the phone, on the bed with them, mind you. All of sudden, Sophie cries out, "My earring! It came out! It got caught in Vivian's hair!" Sure enough, I looked to see an empty hole. I was so angry. I hung up the phone with Daddy, rushed to the bathroom with the alcohol and tried to get that earring back in the hole. It would only slide in 1/2 way easily. I tried as gently as I could, with Sophie's help, she was being very still, but it was no use.
She had one ear pierced for 3 days. Bye bye earring.
They are sleeping in separate rooms tonight. I am not happy.
