Earrings. When is the right age?

Earrings.  Who knew such little things could cause so much trouble.  And yet, they have.

In less than one week, my first born, my eldest daughter will turn 10 years old.  She wants nothing more in the world than to get her ears pierced.

Apparently, this is the age her mother got her own ears pierced, and what the two of them agreed is the allowable age for my daughter’s ears to get punctured and adorned.  Here I thought we had agreed to 12, or even 18.  Rather, that’s what I wish we had agreed to.

Wonder what others feel is the appropriate age for earrings.
