He's 19 and in Auckland. Have just skyped. He has had a cartilage piercing. He is a lovely young man off to Oxford in the autumn. He knows I hate this sort of thing and I never thought he would. I am beyond shocked. I'm trying to be cross but he and dd have made me laugh and made me feel unreasonable. BUT I DON'T LIKE IT. It isn't natural.
Is he narrowing his career choices - I don't think many lawyers, bankers, judges, have piercings. He of course is much more arty and more media inclined.
Grrrr - why couldn't I have bred a square. I don't know whether to laugh or cry but I don't think it makes me feel proud of him.
