Heavy Metal Daughters

Yesterday a girl told me that she had taken out her various piercings the night before, and her mom had said "What happened to your face?" She was laughing as she told the story. She told me she had several piercings. She described the locations; above the eyebrow, at the bridge of her nose, through her nostrils, on her upper and lower lips. I looked at her face up close and said I couldn't see where they had been. She said they were very fine so they wouldn't scar. She was sitting with another girl and they were telling a visiting teacher that they both were very angry at their moms for abandoning them and going to heavy metal concerts, back when the girls were seven years old.
