Me: I’m piercing my nose
Mom: Fine, I’m not raising your illegitimate children.
Me: What?
Mom: You’ll pierce your nose, get a trashy boyfriend and end up with illegitimate children. You and your trashy boyfriend are not living in my house, and neither are your kids.
Me: Wow mom, thanks for the credit. Clearly that’s the natural progression after piercing your nose.

My mom had a pretty similar reaction - and we’re Indian!
I just got my nose pierced and I know I’m going to get this reaction from my mom… and I’m 30!
This is basically how my mom reacted when I got a tattoo…
This is my absolute favorite postcard ever.
It is a proven fact that having a nose pierced increases chances of having an illegitmate child by 63%.
This is sooo my mother! I LOVE that other people have moms like me!!
This is the absolute best. My favorite!
Makes perfect sense to me!
My mother threatened to send me to therapy when I got my nose pierced. She asked me “why I like to hurt myself.” Then when she saw it she thought it was adorable
I first showed my parents my nose piercing when we met for a family cruise (I had been in college at the time and didn’t tell them). Needless to say we got in such a huge arguement that the ppl staying next to us called the boat security (there was a lot of screaming). Uber embarrassing, but eh, my parents eventually got over it
Nice to know other moms are like mine.
Ha! I got my nose pierced while studying abroad so that, when my mom finally saw it, she was just so happy to see ME that she let it go.
Plus, she thought it was uber cute once she actually saw it on me.
When I took the piercing out, she actually encouraged me to re-pierce!
Mom’s right - that’s pretty much how it went down in my life. First the nose piercing, then the creepy BF who knocked me up. Then we had to move in with my mom for a while. Moms’ know EVERYTHING!
1. maisnon — i know you!!
2. my mom had pretty much the same reaction when i pierced my lip. when i pierced my nose, though, she was relieved. (also indian)
Yikes!! I am that mom and I’m “only” 45!!!!
I could use a trashy boyfriend. Off to the piercing shop…
I used to ask my mother what she wanted for Mothers’ Day, and it was ALWAYS “Take out your nosering.” So, I stopped asking.
She told me:
(1) that no one would hire me
(2) that it’s just a FAD (again, we’re Indian)
(3) that women in our part of India don’t pierce their noses (to which I said “What about Auntie S and Auntie P?” I mean, if you’re going to lie, make it good! I shouldn’t be able to disprove in 2.2 seconds.)
P.S. ak Yes, you DO know me!
i wish i could meet some of thease girls your momma is talkin about
My mom thought the same, but my progressive Irish grandfather loved it!
I waited till my mother died before I got my nose pierced.
Ha! I had an “illegitimate” child(what is that? she’s totally legit, btw), and when she turned 14, I got HER nose pierced… in return for good grades!
I guess things change…
Personally, I think that a nose piercing on a girl is very unattractive. Just depends on what guy you would like to attract. You can have a nose ring and be a success, but it always looks like you have a booger inside your nose. Ha!
Well, JB, I guess it’s good we pierce our noses for us and not you.
When I saw this, I had to call my Mom and read it to her!! This sounds exactly like a conversation we would have. I could barely get through reading it without laughing. Even she admitted that it sounds like something she would say.
Haha. I have 15 piercings, & everyone says im crazy im currently in tafe doing a piercing course. when i was 13 i perce my nose by myself & i must have been stupid doing it by myself but i already asked to much from my mum bout piercings so i had the net opened up to a link to pierce your nose & a mirror infront of me & shoved the nose ring in. i was suprised that under a minute it was done. my mum told me that i could always have asked her. but as i said when i was 13 i already had 10piercings. now that im turning 16 i only have 15 & still planning to get more as im busy with tafe & my career.
so girls if you wanna pierce your nose do it & dont care what your parents say, i was lucky that my mum lets me. its your body & they cant tell you what to do.
i was truly laughing out loud when i read this… my mom had a similiar reaction… but yesterday, i got it anyway. (: i’m sure i’ll be a great mom.
