Several months ago he was working in the garage and hit his finger with a hammer. A few days later he went to a restaurant. The waitress had painted her finger nails black. My husband said, "Oh, Sweetheart. Did you hit your finger with a hammer."
"Noooo." She said.
"I hit my finger with a hammer. See?" He replied holding up his injured finger.
Yesterday we went into a fast food restaurant. The young man at the counter had a hoop going completely through his bottom lip. My husband looked at him with a questioning look on his face.
"Have you been fishing, young man?" He asked.
"No sir, I haven't." The young man laughed.
"Has someone been fishing for you?"
"No sir, they haven't." Again the young man laughed. "It's a fashion statement."
My husband ordered his meal, never taking his eyes off the 'hook' in the young man's lip. Before I ordered, my husband said, "How much did that cost?"
"Twenty-five dollars."
I fully expected to hear my husband say, I would have put a fish hook in your mouth for 25 cents. Thankfully he didn't.

LOL!!! I can completely see him doing this. Of course, I can also see your oldest doing it, too. :-)
Funny. I distinctly remember these kinds of comments coming from 'older folks' when I was a teen - about such things as earrings ...! I don't mind these types of fashion statements myself. I figure it's a way for people to show a certain amount of independence and as long as it doesn't cause a health issue (or have an 'attitude' to go with it) I don't really mind at all.
